My Sestinability
Inspired by Driftwood's Sestina, I dabbled in some structured writing!
Google or wiki “Sestina” to get an idea of what it is…just so you know how far I’ve wandered from “sestining”.
My choice of "sentencenders" are:
1. Wish
2. Eyes
3. Game
4. Silhouette
5. Pleasure
6. Eternity
…what on earth was I thinking?? I guess we’ll never know. Miss you Freud!! Aite, read on.
Mood lights, soft whisper, tender touch, make a wish
Your breath on my face, your hair in my eyes
Lead me on, turn me on, and lure me into your game
As the moon devours you, I follow your silhouette
To the depths of darkness, the heights of pleasure
Let the moment linger, baby let’s stretch this to eternity.
Cut to five years later…geez! It does seem like eternity
I need to find a freakin’ genie just to make one darned wish
Kids are fun, kids are cute, kids are a pleasure
Yeah right!! Take those rose-colored lenses off your eyes
No sleep, no friends, just me and my unflattering silhouette
My only physical activity-“Throw the diaper in the bin” game
More years go by, and mid-life crisis is the name of the game
What is really the “mid” when you wish for eternity?
Damn my neighbors, on their driveway I see a Porsche’s silhouette
surely the creeps must’ve recently inherited a fortune, hmm, I wish…
But oh well, at least now the mad-for-nothing wife talks only with her eyes
Thank you, I can now enjoy my 15 years single malt in silence! Ah, pleasure!
Music is divine, music is enriching, music is pleasure
I tell my kids while driving them to their soccer game
Classic rock on the radio, I rock, and they roll…their eyes
I get my laughs and revenge watching their team lose to “Alien Eternity”
We ride back home after fulfilling their ice cream wish
Wife’s tuned to her favorite show: 21 Forever-Skin, hair & silhouette
...to be continued!
Huffing and puffing, I paused here about a month ago. I guess I’ma wait here and rest a li’l bit before I wrap this up. The tortoise ain’t nowhere in sight…maybe I’ll take a nap!
