Oh, 6 syllables. I see why mine didn't fit into your conception of a sestina. I never heard that restriction, and anyway, syllable restrictions just aren't my forte. I try, but then I get one I want to keep and that just blows it out of the water. I try to compare myself to Emily Dickinson in that way; like her rhymes that are just shy of truly rhyming, my syllables don't quite cram in there. At least that's how I defend myself!

...call me loquacious! lol

ciao!
Jess

Oh, no, you didn't. If you were to, I'd love the critique. This is a wonderful, supportive place, but I wonder if perhaps you should have a room for some friendly criticism. I don't ever think of my work as finished, and sometimes it's good to hear someone else's take and what does and doesn't work.

You didn't pick at anything, you were adorably kind as always and i love you for it!

Mwah!
Jess
