I have to read it again later. It's awesome. I can't pick a favorite line or stanza; you make the sestina form work really well here, the repetition of words but the evolution of thoughts and images is wonderful.

Not only by what you have said and acomplished, but also by the fortitude it took to get it all down and make such wonderful echoing sense. Sestinas are so far beyond me, but am glad to see what others do. Thanks for this one, and for the wordle words that made all kinds of sense out of what I was trying to say,<br /><br />ElizabethElizabethhttp://soulsmusic.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876400310749659322.post-4455999496806554532011-04-11T08:12:24.169-06:002011-04-11T08:12:24.169-06:00Brenda, I love sestinas, you've done a fine jo...Brenda, I love sestinas, you've done a fine job and have made the subject quite interesting.<br /><br />Pamelaflauberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424439866515694972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876400310749659322.post-21921190736670212682011-04-11T07:03:13.626-06:002011-04-11T07:03:13.626-06:00I met your wordle challenge from yesterday.
