The challenge nearly did me in. Since it didn't maybe a villanelle is next. I love the musicality of this form. I had a student once who loved everything unicorn. I wish I could show her your poem. I sent it through Instagram hoping she will. And maybe she will understand that she is the friend who went away. Students leaving is the hardest part of my job.
