I wrote a villanelle about Mirror's Edge. I eschewed some of the form's rules, for example, rhyming, but I think it's worked out for the best so far. I would explain what the poem is trying to exude, but hopefully the poem can take care of that itself. Hope you like it.
Fate Illuminate
supplant that twinge of hesitation
momentum steeled in exhalation
that bound beyond horizon's edge
to the dogs throw any scraps of fear
check all pity for your bruising lungs
supplant that twinge of hesitation
saliva bitter, spit out the tar
grit concrete into bleeding pores
for that bound beyond horizon's edge
sinews snap and callous bursts
pontify your leap to fate
supplant that twinge of hesitation
overt exertion, ecstatic motion
a secretion of endorphins blind
that bound beyond horizon's edge
of reason shatter any bastion
reflecting faith in mirror's frame
supplant that twinge of hesitation
that bound beyond horizon's edge
