I'm not sure where these are going yet (can't imagine them fitting into a book MS), but I figure I might as well write them as they pop up into my head. Sestinas definitely coincide with insomnia and restlessness.<BR/><BR/>Maggie May, I completely understand wanting to keep that sonnet "safe" from eyes for a while. Let it sit. I find that form poems, especially, benefit from being allowed to settle and then being re-read for small missteps in the metrical line.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108785153248826337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-61216615662393594912008-07-08T20:51:00.000-04:002008-07-08T20:51:00.000-04:00Sandra:I haven't commented, but I have been readin...Sandra:<BR/><BR/>I haven't commented, but I have been reading your early morning sestinas and I am more than impressed with their their depth and meditativeness of the tone.
