Thank you ELAINE for another very elegant POEM ~ Each line commencing with the same word \"I\" and each verse ending with a repletion (very important in classical poetry) which is also the opening line of the Poem ! \"I am a person with hopes ~ dreams ~ fears ~ and questions\" This oft repeated line exemplifies the theme of the Poem. Your Poem is \"free verse\" but has plenty of Rhythm ! I love this poem and can empathise ~ because I share many of your Hopes ~ Dreams ~ Fears and Questions ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

WELCOME ELAINE ~ Thanks for your first poem ! I am a classical poet (please check my poems) It is rare for a new member to post something as complex as a SESTINA as their first poem ~ but I am pleased you did ! Your six chosen repeated end words are: Nail ~ Right ~ Cool ~ Pen (Pin in stanza 2 and Penned in stanza 5) Joint ~ Run ! These words have a different context each time they are used which is the subtle essence of the SESTINA ! These words do give a clue to the subject and content of your excellent poem ! To me it speaks of a person hooked on MARAJUANA but refusing to acknowledge it ! Thanks for sharing and by doing so raising the quality of MPS Poetry ~ More Please ! Yours BRIAN (UK)
