Poem
To find the girl that I’d love best (A Sestina, 19 May 2014). I thought to set upon a quest; One that would put me to the test So I left my cold and empty nest And proceeded with vigor and zest To find the girl that I’d love best. Thus I left my castle in the west. So proceeding from the west, I set upon the aforementioned quest To find the girl that I’d love best. The trek was long, surely a true test, That sometimes wore out my youthful zest And made me regret my empty nest. I did not turn back to my empty nest, That was now far distant in the west, Rather took heart to recover my zest And with renewed hope continued my quest Resolving to finally beat the test To find the girl that I’d love best. At a fork I chose the road that I thought best Would lead to my fairest lady’s nest But I was deceived by this beguiled test And turned back around towards the west To retrace my old footsteps of my quest And returned to the fork with much less zest. On the other road moving with less zest I by chance met the girl that I’d love best. She saw that I was on some kind of quest And offered me sustenance within her nest I desired to take her to my home in the west And realized wooing her would be my final test So preparing for this final test, I pursued the charming girl with zest. She consented to come with me to the west, Therefore I won the one that I’d love best. Thus I took her home back to my nest And finally fulfilled my loving quest . It never really was for me a test to tolerate the girl that I loved best. So I cherished her with love and zest; because she took the emptiness from my nest. Thus I never again set foot out from the west for another lengthy silly quest.
