Write A Sestina
A highly structured archaic poem with repeating end-words and confuzzlingly puzzlesome rules. The challenge everyone's been waiting for! ... right? ...........Here are the rules on how to write a sestina (too many to copy) from the Academy of American Poets: https://poets.org/glossary/sestina .............For reference (or simply an enjoyable pastime) I recommend reading Rudyard Kipling's "Sestina of the Tramp-Royal" https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46775/sestina-of-the-tramp-royal

My Feeble Attempt At This Challenge

So Ses Tina

And so the story goes fast

Fast as in the mental creativity

Creativity designed to be unwittingly endless

Endless points, fire, heated degrees

Degrees of intertwining levels, haunting, boastful;

Boastful where the world finds simple attempts

Eventually creating authors.
