 This is the page that anyone who wrote a sestina for extra credit can post his or her sestina.  Please follow these directions:

  1. Leave several lines of space between the beginning of your sestina and the sestina above yours, but don't leave lots and lots of white space.
  2. Begin with the title of your sestina and the byline (by......)
  3. Copy and paste in your sestina, adjusting the margins to make it look right on the page (compare it to the spacing of the sestina by Elizabeth Bishop in your text).  It is important that you sestina be easily readable.
  4. Be sure to proofread it and run a spell check.
  5. On Thursday, May 10, everyone is welcome to read and comment on the sestinas.  Please do not comment before then.

Life's Love

by Brianna Finnegan

 

Her love,
  and reason for life,
  great happiness
  would come from just one kiss,
  for many years
  she had admired him from a distance.
   
  The distance,
  that split love for all of it's years,
  that life
  without that kiss,
  is void of happiness.
   
  His form of happiness
  while watching her from a distance,
  was imagining that kiss
  that came with her love,
  picturing their life
  together for years.
   
  The passing of years,
  made their happiness
  less, as they continued their life
  with the distance,
  for both of their love still needed that kiss.
   
  That kiss
  that lingered on their lips for years,
  but still that love
  was their happiness,
  It was the distance
  of life
   
  that made it so hard. The life
  they gave up for that one kiss,
  the distance
  is gone now with all the years
  their happiness
  so tied with their love
   
  No more distance, No more life,
  the fulfillment of love, with that one kiss,
  giving all of the years, the greatest happiness.
