Re: A thin mint sestina (yum!)



Wow!  I didn't even know sestinas were supposed to be in iambic 
pentameter.  I did know, however, the line endings pattern, and that 
they are hard, because I attempted one (it worked okay, but the 
content was didactic and obvious) Much applause Ana Maria, and welcome 
back.  I think I'm too new for your time, but you seem like a worthy 
resident of the imaginary apple orchard!
