"When writers die they become books

which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation."

_ Jorges Luis Borges, Poet and Writer

Even after death my name and words are known, and in schools my poetry would still humble; people would purchase my books not one but all.

Oh to be a writer but better still the poet. I do like this form and your rendition on the topic. Beautiful.

I haven't ever tried this form, Constance... you did a remarkable job with it. A beautiful, inspiring write that I enjoyed so much. Whispers serenity and grace, both humble and great... love it. God bless you with love and prayers, Gina

Wondrous poetry, Constance:-) Loved it! I have to familiarize myself with this rather interesting form.

Iambic Pentameter is an extremely difficult form--more so than Pantoums!--so I don't blame you. I don't go near it, lol

Edward, thank you for the visit and compliment, I cheated by not doing the meter, because as you know I just can'nt get my head around meter _Constance

Ahh!! Well, I hope you are well know already and I know you are read on soup. Enjoyed reading your contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. I can't remember how the sestina form goes I will have to look it up again. I don't think it is really easy on to write. Thanks for your visit with congrats. Sara

Sara, thanks for the visit and the compliment, well Sestina is suppose to have meter but because I cannot do meter, although I do not understand exactly why, this is not done in meter which of course makes it easier but I have the required repeating words, but I suppose there are many ways to do Sestina as many forms have variations _Constance

There is Sestina, and then there is Sestina Trinita which has three stanzas (instead of 6 or 12)with repeating end words and with only three lines (instead of 6 lines) and a Trinita's envoy is a one-liner (instead of 3 lines). My poem is unrhymed but it can be rhymed _Constance
