Here is my poem. It is a sestina. In a sestina there are 6 words chosen for the whole poem. These words are used throughout the poem at the end of each line. For each stanza the order of the words is changed. It is a challenging poetic form. This is not the sestina that I have written but it was a lot of fun.
The words that I used for my poem are: butterflies, breeze, calm, poetry, walk, connecting
Flying butterflies
In the breeze
Are peaceful, calm,
Dancing poetry
In the distance I walk
I am connecting
Connecting
With butterflies
I walk
Into a breeze
Singing songs of poetry
Becoming calm
Calm,
Connecting,
Poetry,
The yellow butterflies
Dive in the breeze
Behind them I walk
The long walk
Brings a calm
Soothing breeze
Connecting
The butterflies
Like beautiful poetry
The words of poetry
On our walk
Makes me long to see butterflies
Sitting calm
Connecting
In the breeze
The breeze
Is poetry
Connecting
With me as I walk
Into the calm
World of butterflies
A breeze surrounds me on our walk
Poetry flows calm
Connecting me with nature and butterflies
