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.

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.
