Mom Giggled

Yes, that was best time for me; can't forget. Spending a couple of hours with Mom. Her age related issues she never talked. Shifted to stay with her; She's so happy. Daily evening, I used to sit with her simple talks about life made her happy; key was togetherness, not what we talked; my childhood memory she didn't forget. Talking on my school days made her happy; Shared those memory with my wife was her work, but about her illness never talked, though check on medicine, I didn't forget. Once as we talked, I said 'good girl' for her. Mom giggled, that happy smile, can't forget. ~X~X~X~
Sestina Sonnet It is written in ten-syllable lines (usually iambic pentameter) and is structured with three stanzas; three quatrains(four-line stanzas) and a concluding couplet(a two-line stanza). The interesting thing about the Sestina Sonnet is that it actually doesn’t rhyme. It retains the Sestina qualities by repeating the end-words of lines throughout the piece. The four words that end the lines of the first stanza, end the lines of the other two stanzas, in a different order each time. The last stanza, uses two of those words per line, with one in the middle and one at the end of the line. ## Note:: Classified as “Gadget” Sonnet, as they have refrain, or have construction or length requirements which fall outside of the “standard” sonnet area, which generally vary only in meter, line-length, rhyme pattern or volta requirements.
