ANY CLUE BUT THE WHOLE THING HAS TO BE IN THE FORM OF A POEM - IT DOESN'T HAVE TO RHYME BUT IT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZABLE AS A POETIC TRADITION (ANY)

"Against splitting: no breaking up, lossless erelong." // The cryptic setter owns a bit of doubt before // To a specific female in a song. /// The oft-unwritten silence clangour boasts, Along // with quietness as indicated in a score. // "Against splitting: no breaking up, lossless erelong." /// Four seasons' time evaporates from thirst or long; // A languid, energetic team's beginning four // To a specific female in a song. /// An ugly and decrepit woman leaves a throng // To overshadow neuroinformatics' core. // "Against splitting: no breaking up, lossless erelong." /// A woman chaste to whom the clothes of air belong, // The head of Aristophanes revolving or, // To a specific female in a song /// A paper pact to harbor secrets reddens wrong // A note of gratitude and debt, but me? Ignore. // "Against splitting: no breaking up, lossless erelong," // To a specific female in a song. (5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 5, 5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 3, 6, 3, 6, 3)

This is a villanelle by the way.

I'm just going to link a google doc with the explanation (and poem with nice line breaks)
