Poem - Sestina

In literacy, we have been making Sestina Poems. The reason we are making them is to send over to Fairfield intermediate up in hamilton.

My Sestina


I saw balls flying absolutely everywhere
I remember then scoring 37 goals
My mummy was helping me see 
I became the cheerleader for them
My star was their, shooting goals 
It was brilliant to watch them

  1. Hello Ben, It's nice too see some more of your blog posts from this week. I really love your Sestina Poem. I remember the time around two weeks ago I was creating a Sestina too. I really like how some of the words you have used match with the setting and topic that you are doing. Next time in your description, If you want to intrigue your bloggers you should add more description of why you did it, how you did it, what was it used for. That can sometimes really help someone if they did not know what a Sestina is. In your description you should add this. A sestina is a fixed verse form consisting of six stanzas of six lines each, normally followed by a three-line envoi. The words that end each line of the first stanza are used as line endings in each of the following stanzas, rotated in a set pattern. Although in Gillstrom Literacy we created it as six lines and six words in each paragraphs. Thanks for sharing this blog post with me have a great day and a awesome four week holiday.

    Happy Blogging Bella
