Thank You!

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

The Sestina poem is complete! I'd like to thank those of you that answered the call and sent me 6 words to choose from.

It was so nice to see the quick support from @robyneggs, @jamisa, @walkingkeys, @cellardoorzero, and @rensoul17! I used one word each, and two from cellardoorzero.

The 6 words:
Interrupted
Blue
Darken
Empty
Torn
Right

I didn't plan a topic or theme out as I chose the words, just chose a few I liked and went for it. I think I like some stanzas and lines more than others. I don't think it's amazing, but I tried, and I tried my best to be true to the form. I don't have any real education on poetry beyond reading and writing it for over twenty years (holy crap!). I'll post the finished product tomorrow. Still need a title and to give it a quick edit. I want to just go for it, as too much editing makes me feel like Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance at his typewriter. Thanks again all!
