Rat-ackity-ness!

The rodent sestina is coming along very slowly. It is a very rigid form that I have never tried before. I have found that trying to write one is much like painting one's self into a corner. You hit that last stanza and realize there is nowhere to go. I have mastered the rodent haiku, acrostic, and parody mainly because I know I have a short attention span and don't like spending more than five minutes (ten minutes tops) on anything that requires real thought. I remain resolute though, and I hope to post a brilliant paean, in sestina form, to the rodent in the very near future. Stand by me, my lovely rat muse.
