I started to write villanelles because after 2 years I was still suffering intensely
I decided to learn something new.I’ve written many villanelles now. I learn new things as often
as I need to.

I have studied and I’ve got my new degree
My heart has learned its lessons one by one.
I’m a graduate of the grief academy
I didn’t know how anguished one would be
When the man you love is here and then is gone
I’ve been studied, oh I got the third degree
The tears I wept could fill up the Dead Sea
Add more salt and scour the shore till done
I’m a graduate of the grief academy
I know now I must die,we cannot flee
We turn to dust and that is not much fun
I have studied and I’ve got my last degree
It’s no News, nothing for the BBC
Unless you’re Stephen Hawkings, that great man
We’re graduates of the grief academy
We can’t control life with a self made plan
God is gone though prayer might well begin
I have suffered till I got my Ph.D
I’m a graduate of the grief academy
