Wisdom at unlikely moments
I have decided that writing a verse play in sestina form, and keeping it under a minute of stage time, is a project for another day. If ever. I'll still have another go at a sestina, don't get me wrong, but the whole verse-play thing is hard enough without shoehorning it into pretty much the most rigid poetry form I've ever tried to work with.
There are times to challenge oneself, and times to just say "Nah."

You're too crisp and clear to be Shakespeare.
Hey that rhymes!
Why, thank you! And yes yes, it does.
I'm amazed you can contemplate a sestina. I tried and failed miserably after a friend produced several prize winners.
