RE: Untitled Sestina (original)
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Is Interrupted Blues your suggestion for a title? I like it a lot, its apt.

Yeah, it's weird how interrupted disrupts the poem, and the blue, sad tones, I thought it may work as it was afore untitled. I noticed by the last stanzas you moved interrupted into the keystone end.
That's the formula for the envoi (the final three lines in Sestina). You have to label each word as a, b, c, d, e, f. So the end words are in that order, then the order fluctuates as you go- I had to go back to my book of forms a few times to make sure I was correctly following the structure! In the final 3 lines you have to use two keywords, b,e for line 37, d,c for 38, and f,a for the last. Thanks for the insight and feedback!
