First is Sadness, Then Comes Madness
First is sadness
A heart falling
Then comes madness
———
Where is gladness?
It's life stalling
First is sadness
———
A certain blandness
Is flavor calling?
Then comes madness
———
A curtain's slackness
Black veil palling
First is sadness
———
Lost in vastness
Life is galling
Then comes madness
———
A grief's exactness
Heavy heart hauling
First is sadness
Then comes madness

a wonderful villanelle!
This is a perfect villanelle and a great subject. I have seen so many that "interpret the villanelle form" even getting Top Stories. If it doesn't keep to the form it is not a villanelle. Great work
