Fuck you sestinas. Just...fuck you. ._.
So for my creative writing course, I had to write a sestina, which for those of you who don't know is a type of poem where you have 6 six-line stanzas and 1 three-line stanza at the end. There are also no length constrictions for the lines in stanzas. Sounds easy so far right? WELLLL you have to pick 6 words that you are forced to repeat (at least in sound or with words that look kind of similar, like Fur, For, and Fair) at the end of each line of each stanza. And you have to have a different order each time, like, say I end the 1st line of stanza one with "puppy." Then for Stanza two, All of the lines but line one can end in "puppy" or something similar. It's way more obnoxious then I'm making it sound probably. .-. Either way, it took me hours to do. x.x Guess I can sleep when I'm dead.
TL;DR It's like making up your own Sudoku game that you don't know the answers to, then trying to solve it upside down.
