A sestina, huh? I won't even pretend to understand it but I like how you
kept it going by having her look in all the directions.
(I hate it that when we all copy stuff into the body of the e-mail that the
format goes away. Not your fault.)
I haven't written anything for a while due to writer's block but have been
filling myself with poetry.
I was going to post and ask why these guys are considered classics but then
Vejas dared to ask why his book was considered one--which I wholeheartedly
agree with him about--but responses properly chastized me for my daring to
wonder, too.

Hey ya'll. I'm tired of this group being so quiet, but I can't complain if
I also do not post anything. So here is a poem I wrote and am sharing just
to try and get some conversation started. I'll wait for comments and your
postings too. :) Eve
Desert Ghost
With howling in the wind
Towards the North she looks
Searching with her eyes
In the dark of night
For the elusive grey ghost
Approaching with a grace eternal
With grace eternal
Silent as the wind
An unseen ghost
With wonder she looks
Through the heart of the night
At a pair of glowing eyes
With ancient eyes
Eternal
Hidden in the night
Traveling on the wind
Towards the East she looks
To find the grey ghost
The misty grey ghost
With star reflected eyes
Moves swiftly as she looks
Just as the eternal
Highway of the night
Traveling far above the wind
The grey cloud above moves by wind
No faster than the grey ghost
Through the darkest hours of the night
Though the eyes
Eternal
See all on which she looks
To the South she looks
Following the path of the wind
On its journey eternal
She sees the grey ghost
Through the inner eyes
Moving still through the night
With howls carried by the wind she looks
With her glowing eyes through the darkness of the night
As would any desert ghost with grace eternal
