At writing a sestina with meaning
That hopefully has evidence if talent
Which is hard to do
When all I can think
Of is my future that is coming
Yes, winter is going and spring is coming
And I know where I want to go
My future is all I can think
About, meaning
I'm royally screwed if we must do
stuff requiring thought or talent
Because talent
Comes hard if something is coming
That's why I can't do
So well and allow myself to go
Digging for deeper meanings
I guess I didn't think
About my future until now but I think
It will require some talent
So I guess I'll be fine then, meaning
Nothing better is coming
I'll have no where to go
That will distract me from what I must do
Right now I can't do
Anything except think
Of where I will go
But after spring break! And college! Where shall I use my talent
Some job where nothing better is coming
"NO" I keep saying, meaning
I must keep yearning for a future with meaning
And more fun things to do
Maybe I'll have a family coming
And friends that think
Like me. And still the future will destroy my talent
Because I will still have places to go
And friends and family to go
See! That won't care about my talent
And the things I'll look forward too will be much sweeter than spring break or college .... I think
I know this was supposed to be a revision but we all know there was no salvaging my first attempt so this one was attempt number two. At first I seemed to be going to a depressing place so I tried to turn it around by the end. I think the format is right and I know it has much more meaning than the first try.
