I've read that poem, and Dylan Thomas sticks to the form pretty tightly, but he, too, makes minor changes in some of the repeated lines, doesn't he? Some poets write what they call vilanelles and they don't even rhyme; it covers a broad spectrum. People write sonnets now with 18 lines. The form is a jumping off point. This was my first attempt in class this semester, and I think I stuck to it pretty closely.
