The Sestina is a fairly rigid form, consisting of six 6-line stanzas, followed
by a
3-line 'envoi.'
Lines need not rhyme, nor is any regular
meter specified
(although these elements can add elegance).
What is crucial is the order of the last words of the lines, which follows a
strict pattern. (Click on the 'Sestina' link, above for more information.)
If you like, I will construct a 'skeleton' for you. Simply enter six words,
and click 'Construct.'
(Checking 'Randomize' will scramble the order
of the words you enter.) You will then get the words in the correct form.
Simply copy and paste them. Then, write in lines that end with them.
