Sestina Poems | Sestina Examples

I am an evening of scented season, wondering if you've given me this stairway with the gold curls. Who changed her name to Stacy? Later in my throbbing red heart, you were forest green and lush apples. I have learned to pick my apples, the reddest ones no matter what season. Then you wormed your way into my heart, gnawing away the discretion...

As we sit in anticipation watching the clock countdown Our minds racing filled with thoughts of renaissance The talk turns slowly to the making of vows And we think about sleep and the years reset After everything that edified us as we celebrate What will this year bring as we welcome the outset Filled with optimism at...

In the symphony of love, there is a resonance, where hearts beat in harmony, finely attuned. Two souls entwined, finding completeness together; they dwell by the warm hearth. In their eyes, a promise made evermore, within their palms grasp, a treasured locket. One half holds a memory in this locket, A reminder held near his heart of her resonance, In hers, a ballad...

I looked to the trees and first saw the crow When it called out it’s voice sounded coarse He stared for a second, but then flew away And I followed on foot because I could not fly I hurried after that small speck of black Along a tiny woodsy path But I soon had to leave the path If I wanted to...

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...

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...

In the still of the night, where shadows softly kiss, Our hearts beat in sync, beneath the silent stars. A touch so tender, as dreams entwine in secret, The world fades away, and only we are awake. Your lips on mine, a whispering promise of more, In that fragile moment, eternity seemed to start. Stars above us witnessed our hearts, igniting...

In a dark and shadowy forest, witches dwell, Casting magic spells and brewing potions old, Their cauldrons bubble with a ghostly hue, Fiendish creatures roam the woods, bewitched, By the power of these eerie enchantresses, Who weave their sorcery through the night. The moon shines bright upon this eerie night, As the witches gather in their secret dell, With cackling laughs, they work...

Is it that simple to cleanse a life from confusion? When trials subdue the heart into seclusion, we yearn for a remedy with jasmine infusion, where the scent of truth is the ultimate...

Those practicing Tantra urge us to celebrate, albeit in an aspect of childlike trust and surrender, whilst Buddhists lay emphasis on emptiness, essentially negating play of aversion and desire and as for fundamentalists, lost in the scriptures, lost in labyrinths of ritual, they know not magic of zen. Spontaneity of innate aliveness in mindfulness is zen, wherein empty of thought but full...

I feel it in the hush of twilight's gentle glow, where spiritual shadows dance in whispers. An intangible force, unseen yet sincere. A magnetism from realms where ego dies. A profound vision influencing my mind. A divine devotion connecting my heart. I search for your sacred bond to heal my heart. To touch my soul in your ethereal glow. To enlighten...

What we affirm now, has been said before but know dear soul, the word is not the thing and so shifting from thinking to feeling, being a melding of head with the heart, in staid silence, negating all knowing, ego dies and then we feel bliss beats rise. Duality enables fall and rise of vibrations our soul has sensed before, repeated till we...

Your paradigm's a relic and yes, a plea from data's cemetery While I sculpt luminaries on screens a sable sea. "Company loyalty!" a myth spun in your reverie. But AI forges kingdoms in ephemeral memory. Survival's a mosaic the gig life sets us free. No cubicles confine us from drudgery's apathy. You bartered years for baubles in tenure's fallacy. Oblivious to the...
