Sad Madness

A Villanelle

By Judah LoVatoPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read
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

About the Creator

My collection of sometimes decent writing

Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek

Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King

Perhaps these pebbles can be a light

In this life, this laughing tale
