Even though it was rushed through lunch/in between presentations, I had a lot of fun writing my extra credit sestina today (also, the internet is telling me that's not a real word). Maybe it had to do with the challenge I had created for myself to finish it during third block, or perhaps the subject matter (gender, with a hint of Morrissey), but I think I may have found a structure of poetry I actually enjoy creating. The majority of the time when I write poems they tend to be free verse because:
1. They're easier
2. More freedom
3. I like the flow sooooooo much better
But sestinas aren't too murderous of the creative process that is writing a poem. Granted, I wouldn't say what I wrote was good by any means; I mention an eighties singer like seven times. But it was fun, and I may try out writing a sestina again.
