[stylist] sestina stretch

[Barbara HAMMEL]

I don't write many of them — I need to get back to them though — but I made a template file that has the order in which the words must be used and when I put the word the first time for the letter I change all the letters to that word. So, no, I never go over but, I'm not sure how it is done but you could just make it a double-sestina. Nothing wrong with that.
