Comment from Gloria ....

Exceptional

I think you did a terrific job for this teach me something contest. I have written a few sestinas and this is a very well done template for how to ensure the most difficult aspects of the form.

Sonnets, for example, evolve from Petarch (did you mean Petrarch here?)

Wishing you all the best with the voters. :)

Hi
Hi

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.

I had trouble following you because when you listed all the numbers, I didn't remember what they meant. I would've had to write them down on paper and then reference them as I went through the numbers.

You said you used them in your poem, but I never saw your poem just your teachings. Maybe if you copied and pasted that poem in her that you wrote, one would be able to correlate that to the structure


I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

I spent a couple hours fixing problems from transferring the data from Google. I simply lost interest in the piece.

An excellent entry for the Teach Me Something writing prompt. I have been working on a Sestina for months and this looks like it will be very helpful to me. Thank you for sharing.

I will try and finish it correctly.

Excellent

This is a good teaching post. Although a sestina seems like an intimidating poem form for me at least. Thanks for sharing and happy writing! Best wishes!

I found it was interesting to math students who enjoyed the challenge of researching, staging and using attention to detail to create a good one.
