What is this form called? It flows pretty well. I know you're following the requirements of a form, but there would be more impact if the poem was shorter, and therefore less repetition. I know, I know...the form. Sometimes it's good to break the rules. I like the concept.

Sestina, Bob. Six lines in six stanza. I think I broke the rule a bit. Thanks Bob

Hi Frank,
