Sestina

She looked at the sky

and saw the palm trees blowing in the wind

the sun was shining down

washing her face in light.

She wiggled her toes in

the warm sand.

She walked down to where the sand

met the ocean and looked into the horizon seeing the orange sky.

The waves rolled in

like the rushing wind.

She watched the light

dimming down.

She walked down

to see her kids playing in the sand

their skin red from the light

coming from the sky.

The wind

started to gust and she carried her kids in.

When they stepped in

the house, her husband was coming down

the stairs his footsteps muffled by the wind.

The scratching sand

swirled and the sky

disappeared along with the light.

The dark light

washed in 

the windows, the sky

was filled with stormy clouds, bringing rain down

onto the now cold sand, 

that had been stirring with the wind.

The rushing wind

along with the grey light, 

pushed the water farther up onto the sand.

the hurricane was coming in.

Bringing disaster down,

from the sky.

The sand was darkened along with the light from the night. 

The sky brought disaster down on the family.

The wind furiously blowing in. The hurricane’s intensity increasing with every second.

I basically changed my whole sestina because in my previous one I used extremely difficult ending words. My previous sestina didn't really have a meaning and didn't really tell a story at all. I tried to improve this one a bit more, so that it is more of a narrative. This one tells the story of a family on the beach during a hurricane, while other one didn't really make sense after I read it for a second and third time. This one is new and improved.
