I agree, the retelling of something familiar to me made it more enjoyable. Way to go Barbara. I will be working on mine this week.
Frank, I tend to agree with your thoughts about the sestina. I think it is "a kind of poem" (if we don't want to include it in formal poetry) that can only rarely succeed as a very good poem that people would want to read again and again. That's how classics are made - you want to read them again and again.
Henry, I glanced at the first link and wondered what all the Bobbing was about. I'll have to check more into this stuff later - it is past my bed-time.
Thanks everybody!
Watch this space this week for my upcoming sestina, but don't set your hopes too high!
