Ok so this is a sestina I wrote for my literature class, it's a little embarrassing because it's really sappy, but alas here it is: (p.s. it's really hard to write a sestina so sorry if it's wierd, and don't try and analyze it please.)
Anitses
My first sights of you
And I didn’t yet think of us
Inside I could see you were warm
Inside the blue-green rings of your eyes
Inside your smile
I could see your dreams dance
But your heart would start to dance
All due to you
Liking my sweet smile
And you hoped for an “us”
Inside your sea-green eyes
That I might keep you warm
For you begged to once be warm
And so I saw you dance
And something I liked in your kind eyes
Made me wonder about you
Then he introduced us
You made me grow a smile
I grew to love your smile
Thinking of you made me warm
I thought for once, they’re could be an “us”
And in our dreams we had our dance
My mind couldn’t escape you
My eyes waited for your eyes
But tears brimmed our eyes
We had to leave that smile
For I could not be with you
We became scared to be warm
We were forbidden to dance
Because there was another “us”
Impossible became us
We closed our eyes
Forgetting the dance
When I think, I can’t smile
About keeping each other warm
Because I miss you
And yet my eyes will still dance
Because when I see your warm smile and you see mind
It reminds us of all the ways to say “I love you”

weird? yes. incredibly amazing? even more so. :P <3
I like how you spelled sestina backwards for the title. I agree with Genevieve on the "incredibly amazing". It made me warm inside. :)
