I wrote this, by the inspiration given to me by this question:-

Sestina
A sestina (or sestine or sextain) is a highly structured poem consisting of six six-line stanzas followed by a tercet (called its envoy or tornada), for a total of thirty-nine lines!. The same set of six words ends the lines of each of the six-line stanzas, but in a different order each time;
Each time I put pen to paper, I grow
Lesson learned, now its time to apply it
Actions can speak louder than words
In this case,”The less we say the better”
Nowhere have I found a teacher like you
Elaine, I needed so much to say this
The Sestinas; you showed me this
At some time you will see, that I grow
Under the guidance I received from you
Given a clue, now I have to solve it
Have taught me to write better
To not be afraid but master; words
Many have spoken, but it’s you’re words
I have more in store than this
Got to now, make my writing better
Have a whole heap down on paper
To this end, one day I’ll publish it
You know my book!? I’ll dedicate to you
Look out, because its coming soon to you
I truly appreciate your words
Time for my poetry to make it
Time to stop waiting for people to applaud this
Like I was writing on gold leaf paper
Elaine, now I told you, I feel much better
So how can I make my poems better!?
Please tell me, I can take it from you
Enjambments!? Or should I scribble it down on paper!?
Anyway, enough of these words
Keep saying “I’m going to do better”
So, I guess its time to prove it
Bet some are saying “He’ll never make it”
Easy for them, they don’t know, how I got better
Through constant prayer I will do this
Thank you
Every day, I’m touched by your words
Rest assured, I’ll get published on paper
Here’s my Sestina to prove it on paper that,
Elaine, some words can never be spoken better
