Sestina Poems | Examples

Christina Wrote A Sestina On The Nina

Christina why do you laugh
   at the men with whom you make love?
Do you have beliefs, any hopes?
Do you cry?
Do you need?
Do you fear?

Christina tell me all your fears
Ignore the devil when he laughs
Like me I know you need
   someone special to love
I say "In the rain we all cry
   when we lose sight of hope."

Christina do you see the lighthouse of hope
Or the angry sea as fear?
She asks "Have you ever seen a seagull cry
Or for that fact laugh?"
"They are free of the burden of love
But they see the sea as home."

Christina cries in need
"What does it take to have hope?"
"I want love
I hate fear
I want to laugh
Whenever I cry"

"Christina please don't cry
Because it's you I need
I want to hear God laugh
I want to shake His hand and hope
That all of my fears
Don't get in the way of all my love"

Christina is in love
That is why she can cry
The angry sea crashes in fear
That's how it feeds its need
To destroy all hope
  and the reason we all laugh

So Christina you don't need to fear
As land is now within sight
And as you reach shore we will reunite

Deanna's Waiting

Deanna's waiting
With all the emotions of a young women cascading
Now the bend in the creek
Makes her knees weak
And her thoughts of this man are
Filling a heart set to clamour
You bet her sighs matter

When we met in our eyes
It was love at first sight
So don't let this moment end
Or it's my heart that'll rend
I didn't know a dance
Would kindle romance
And Deanna would have to wait for her chance

Cherry Pie

The taste lingers, 
A thought conveys 

Childhood at its best, 

The idea hovers 

The feelings engender 

The deeply converged experiences in my chest! 

 
I remember the fruit 
The sugars divine, 

The crusty pastry defined, 

The shape of the slice, 

The triangular trick 

Exquisitely, to my observation, delicately refined! 


Who wants a piece? 
Who'd like a sniff? 

Oh! What will it instill? 

What elegant thought? 

What instant delight, 

Connects this taste to the smell of the fill? 

 
A fleeting emotion, 
A word of support, 

Quickly surrounds the scene, 

Of pine trees 

And plum trees, 

And muscadines hanging, clothed in a matchless sheen!

Greek room

I touch you and you touched 
me back we became we 
and we soared the Greek isle

Colors of Spring

The last snow of winter
blown by the wind
bares the gray
of branches to the sun
pregnant with buds.
Is it spring?

Testing spring 
torpid from the winter
sleepy tiny buds
hesitant of the wind
search for the sun
between stalks of gray

A flash of red among the gray
a robin singing spring 
drinking the sun
snow melt of winter
unfettered by the wind
shaking the buds

Softens around the buds
warmed by the sun
the frozen clay of winter
helped by the gray
showering clouds of spring
and milder wind

With gentler wind
and warming sun
the colors of spring
unfold in the opening buds
after the long gray
days of winter

Good-bye winter winds
Gray days without sun
Hello new buds of festive spring

A Bond That Will Forever Endure

On this day of love and joy,
Two hearts become one, oh boy!
A union of two souls so pure,
A bond that will forever endure.

The groom awaits his blushing bride,
With love and admiration in his eyes,
She walks down the aisle with grace,
A smile on her face that lights up the place.

In the presence of family and friends,
Their love story reaches its happy end,
A promise to cherish, love, and hold,
For better or worse, in sickness and gold.

As they exchange their vows of love,
A peacefulness descends from above,
A union blessed by heavens' hand,
Sealed with a kiss and wedding band.

With love and laughter, they celebrate,
The start of a beautiful, joyful fate,
A life of love, trust, and togetherness,
May their love grow stronger with every caress.

May this day be the beginning of a beautiful life,
A love that transcends every trouble and strife,
A journey of endless joy, adventure, and fun,
A love that shines as bright as the sun.

A Fetus Is a Person

A fetus is a person, a life yet to be born,
A precious soul waiting for its turn,
To enter this world and take its place,
In the loving arms of its family and grace.

It grows and develops within the womb,
Protected and nurtured, it starts to bloom,
From a single cell to a tiny being,
A miracle of life, forever freeing.

Its heart beats strong, its tiny limbs move,
As it prepares for life, its journey to groove,
A precious gift, a bundle of joy,
A new life to love, to cherish and enjoy.

Some may say it's just a clump of cells,
But to the parents, it's much more than that,
A dream come true, a new chapter in life,
A chance to grow, to love, and to thrive.

To deny the fetus its right to live,
Is to deny its future, its potential to give,
To the world, to its family, to everyone around,
A life worth living, a gift so profound.

A fetus is a person, a life yet to be born,
A precious soul waiting for its turn,
To enter this world and make its mark,
A new beginning, a journey to embark.

Love Is a Gift That We Give and Take

Love, a word so simple and yet so grand
A feeling that takes hold of our hearts and hands
It sweeps us off our feet and takes us high
It fills our world with colors we can't deny

Love is a flame that never fades
A light that shines through life's dark shades
It warms our souls and gives us hope
It teaches us how to trust and cope

Love is a journey that we embark
With every beat of our hearts it sparks
It takes us on a ride that we can't resist
A rollercoaster of emotions that persist

Love is a language that needs no words
It's a symphony that can be heard
It's a dance that we share in the night
A moment that feels so pure and right

Love is a gift that we give and take
It's the reason our hearts awake
It's the bond that ties us together
A love that lasts forever and ever

So cherish the love that you have found
Let it grow and spread all around
Let it fill your heart with joy and grace
And let it shine upon your face.

Joined In Loves Sweet Embrace

Two hearts beat as one,
Joined in love's sweet embrace,
Together they stand,
In this holy, sacred place.

The bride, radiant in her beauty and grace,
The groom, handsome and strong,
Filled with love and a smiling face.

Their love, like a rose in bloom,
Fragrant and full of life,
As they exchange their vows,
Their hearts fill with delight.

The rings, symbols of their love,
A promise to never part,
As they embark on this journey,
With love in their hearts.

May their love grow stronger each day,
Through the joys and the strife,
May their bond never falter,
As they journey through life.

Congratulations to the newlyweds,
May your love forever shine bright,
May you cherish each other always,
As you walk hand in hand, in life.

Economic Sea

Amidst the world of commerce and trade
Lies the foundation of our daily brigade
Economy, the heart of our monetary system
A complex structure that we can't help but listen

It's a web of transactions and values
Where supply and demand leads to venues
Where products are sold and services are bought
And every penny counts, or else it's for naught

The stock markets rise and fall like tides
And investors fear a recession that hides
Inflation and deflation are two sides of the coin
That can make or break a nation's join

The GDP is a measure of growth
But at times, it only reflects a mirage both
Unemployment rates can hit the roof
And bring the entire economy down with a woof

As we delve deeper into this world of money
We realize it's a system that's not funny
For it affects every aspect of our lives
From the way we eat to the roof over our heads and our drives

So let us learn to navigate this economic sea
And try to build a world that's free
From the shackles of poverty and strife
And where prosperity is a part of life.

A Melody Beyond Compare

In the darkness of night,
With only stars for light,
I wander through the trees,
Whispering secrets on the breeze.

The moon above shines bright,
A beacon in the night,
Guiding me on my way,
As I wander and sway.

The rustling of leaves,
A symphony that weaves,
Through the stillness of the air,
A melody beyond compare.

I lose myself in thought,
As I continue on my sought,
Journey through the dark,
A journey of the heart.

For in this silent space,
I find my inner grace,
And though the night may be long,
My spirit is forever strong.

So let the stars shine bright,
And guide me through the night,
For I am not alone,
In this world I call my own.

A Legacy Worth Preserving For All To Behold

Amidst the woods and fields so green,
Nature's beauty can be seen.
From the chirping birds in the trees,
To the buzzing bees and gentle breeze.

The flowers bloom in rainbow hues,
And the leaves rustle with morning dews.
The sun shines bright and warms the land,
While the moon and stars glow on command.

The rivers flow with gentle grace,
And the oceans roar with a fierce embrace.
Mountains tower high in the sky,
And valleys dip low, where rivers run by.

Wildlife roams free in the land,
With beauty and grace at their command.
Deer that dart, and rabbits that hop,
And majestic eagles that soar and stop.

Nature's cycles, a wondrous sight,
From dawn's first light to the end of night.
From birth and growth, to age and decay,
It's a magnificent display day by day.

So let us cherish nature's gifts,
And protect it from harm and rifts.
For it is a treasure to behold,
A legacy worth preserving for all to behold.

In a Game of Thrones

Markets smile, deep pockets make fat pile,
And when frown, fortunes come tumbling down.
In play of plump coffers
There’s no place for paupers—
Sophomore Dumpty’s tend to crash crown,
They prosper that possess wile and guile.

Happenings |24.12.2022| Humour, Sestet

Poet’s note: It was as if only yesterday Elon Musk was crowned the king of fortunes at top of the pile. Today, his net worth has dropped by $ 135 billion. The rest of the tech tsars also watch their net worth getting depleted. India’s Gautam Adani at $110 billion has risen to third place. From almost nowhere in sight now appears Louis Vaitton to claim first place at $ 159 billion. The sestet is set in anapaest meter, and a mirror-like rhyme scheme. What we have here is just a Sestet, not a Sestina.

September 7, 1982
a date I shall always remember
 for on that date, I met my fate
 for eight years 
 I dreamt of meeting her
then she walked into my life.
