Waves attack for Conquest
Castle lost not dreams

line 1 has your subject..that's good! Line 2 has your action...good! at the end of this line which is called the CUT (by which they mean you are changing gear and showing another view of the same topic) you put 3 dots...Also NO capitalization or periods in this form. Lots of luck & I will keep checking in on the sestina!
