using other forms besides iambic pentameter.

[milo]

What kind of feet are you using? I understand a villanelle needs two alternating refrains and the number of lines are set. Your refrains are not exact I'm not sure if you meant that.

I think you can do this, at least take a guess and i will tell you you're wrong.

Some sort of tetrameter and lines that are eleven syllables

It actually alternates 3 - 4 - 3 which is pretty uncommon for a villanelle though 4 - 3- 4 is common enough. I always called this anapestic trimeter/tetrameter but with a common iamb sub to start and foreshortened. Recently I have heard some refer to it as amphabrics and though it lines up nicely, I am not sold.

Here is what I know of writing in meter (summed up):

1. Modern English verse is written with 4 metric choices: iambic, trochaic, anapestic, dactyllic.
2. Following are conscious acceptable subs: spondees, Pyrrhics (rare), iambs, trochees
3. Everything else is for metric analysis /not/ for writing.

Now these rules are probably not 100% accurate, but they are so close as to be usable
