If I don't write them today, I -| will have to write two later down the line. - -| Although I feel I'm slogging through each line -| I think I'm doing better every day, -| though maybe this is wishful thinking: I -| showed my friend my just-completed task -| two days ago (my God, was it two -| entire days? I've no idea what I'll - -| do [after thirty-nine days][]. I think I'll -| feel like [Inigo Montoya][], who'd been in the line -| of revenging for so long, he didn't know what to -| do with the rest of his life), and he deigned -| to be polite, but I could tell the task -| was hard for him. He told me finally that I - -| had made a noble effort, but that ultimately I -| failed. [So my question][]: when will -| I be a decent sestina writer? For this is my task. -| Maybe if I just keep cranking out line after line -| I'll finally figure it out. Maybe one more day -| or another week will do it, or maybe I'll need two, - -| or maybe it'll never happen. Maybe a sestina's too -| involved, too much [weaving][] of words too fine, and I -| will never write a good one, even on my best day, -| even if I employ all my skill and all my will. -| I'm not used to writing poems with thirty-nine lines, -| that must be the problem, must be why this task - -| is Herculean. He only had to finish twelve tasks, -| and I have one less one thousand, five hundred twenty-two, -| and it's nothing but complaining lines -| about [how hard it is to be a person][]. I -| am getting sick of myself with these poems, and will -| soon be loathe to get out of bed every day. - -| But I tasked myself with this, which may be the worst I -| ever do to myself. I thought a poem NaNoWriMo would -| be fun, would line my resume, give me something I could publish someday. - -[after thirty-nine days]: http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/11-24.htm -[Inigo Montoya]: death-zone.html -[So my question]: question.html -[weaving]: tapestry.html -[how hard it is to be a person]: deathstrumpet.html -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
