[> Subject: Re: Blood Moon Memoir (Sestina) Author: Mick [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:49:15 01/01/08 Tue Well, I've only written one sestina and it was a royal pain in the arse :), so, I know how this form can be a struggle. You did an excellent job as always. To me, there is a certain inherent annoyance about this form - I think it's the rotating/repeating end word (not your poem, just this form); so, whilst I chose a theme of rats in my house for my sestina, I was impressed that you worked your theme into this form - very nice. I guess the obsessiveness of lust works well in this form. Anyway, as always you have weaved your magic and enlightened me. Again, well done. One question from my own ignorance: are six-syllable lines a restriction of this form or is it just consistent syllable count? I used 10 in mine and was just curious if I goofed.
