How can my Professor be so mean
making me write this when the weather's so fine
it's still not as warm as in may
but I love fall, and I'd rather be outside; maybe go for a run
Shaun take's the lead!!
his competitor takes second!
I thought this blog would only take a second
well not EXACTLY a second, but you know what I mean
this is not where I thought my afternoon would be led
this assignment isn't one of the finest
especially since I'm down with a cold, my nose is runny
hello cold season, goodbye May
I'll be scared about future blogs, for the blogs that may
come next might also be impossible to do in a second
My darn professor, I now know how you run
you live for torturing us, you love to be mean
There should be a law for this, you should pay a fine!
A revolution should be led
this rough draft takes so long that I'm now out of lead
Even though I bought so many pencils in May
all I've got left are regular pencils, but their point isn't fine
Now I'll have to go to the store a second
time, which makes 2 the average AKA the mean
of how many times to the store I've had to run
geez! How long will this sestina run?
This assignment makes me sleepy, my whole body feels like lead
making me repeat the same words line after line is plain mean
I like fall weather, but now I'm wishing it was may
so break would start; I could get second
wind, and then everything would be fine
ooohh, I guess I need repeat the same word again! fine!
If I had this attitude with my parents, I'd be on the run
'cause in the matter of seconds
they'd hit me with something hard, like lead
ouch! that hurts.. even if it may
correct my behavior, it's still mean
I guess it's all fine now, because this stanza has led
to the end of the sestina, no more tears will run now.. but be that as it may
I hope there isn't a second blog that I dislike because, as I've said many times, It's mean
Ha! I absolutely love this. Quite honestly, you have keyed into one of the most difficult tasks of a sestina. A good sestina writer will choose words that have multiple means like lead (as in leadership) or lead (like a pencil's writing surface). Good one! 10/10
