Improv Post Four Week Six

This is an improv of "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop. This poem is a villanelle and that was my goal with the improv, trying to work in that form and use the line "I lost two cities, lovely ones."

I lost two cities, lovely ones
one was the body, the other
ran away with all my funds.

I couldn't help but cry to sons,
when simply stated, the facts:
I lost two cities, lovely ones.

The second first, of the lovely ones
had a hat named Fluff and he 
ran away with all my funds.

But fluff wasn't afraid of city one,
holding hope in a ball, unlike me
I lost two cities, lovely ones,

The first second, snagged buns
for hope from city two, knowing
I lost two cities, lovely ones
that ran away with all my funds.
