I don't know enough about poetry to distinguish between the different forms, but I do know if I like a poem or not, and this I do like. Good job.
Take care.
Christelle.

Many thanks for this kind review. So glad you enjoyed it.
Comment from Brian Terry
I've tried the sestina and have never done as well as you have in this poem.
I've also been irritated at either editor's ability to handle accents
Verse six naughty naught pinching from Shalespear
The last verse
is wonderful and so deep

Bravo!!!!!
Your daughter must be so proud of this poem and of you, of course. How you ever got each line down pat without forget where you were in the style, is amazing.
quite vividly described creating lots of imagery.
good work
very well penned

And, having visited your profile I know what a SOMO is and I thank you for that personal touch. The amazing bit is quite simple; once I had written the first verse, I then write the key words in their progressive order on the right hand side of the page or in a right hand table column in Word, then write the verse up to them. Sorry about that, it's like watching a magic show - once you know how it's done it is no longer amazin! Thanks for a great review, six stars and the SOMO>

Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Had to do the six for many reasons.
Following the rules of the poem it looks to be spot on.
Descriptions are very good and takes the reader on a special journey instead of leaving them behind.
Nicely done

Comment from Patti 52
I have never read this form of French poetry. The quest she is on to find necessary
items for her artistic outlet is, to me, a metafore for pieces of her life. Certain items
she finds, makes her think of certain life experiences. Then from those she makes art
to express how she feels. People will buy her art and that gives her the satisfaction
that she deserves.
This is a very well written poem. It is very thought provoking and a first for me! My
complements to the author. Keep up the good work.

Comment from MissMerri
This poem appears to me to be a most amazing accomplishment. That must have been so difficult to do, but you have done it beautifully. The imagery is strong, the flow is perfect and the picture you paint with your words is lovely. I enjoyed reading this. It is especially neat the way the same words take on different meanings when used in a different context. Very creative!

What a beautiful poem and story, written so honestly and skillfully. Also is a beautiful dedication to an artist from an artist. From father to his daughter. Love. A truly wonderful writing. Well done, very well done. Thank you so much for sharing, and guiding me towards it.
Have a great evening.

Comment from Treischel
A beautiful Sestina, very well executed, even with that Alexandrine line in each verse, ah but a love a well-thought deviation for the same of the art. I enjoyed how you weave your way through the machinations of the repeats to present a comprehensive poetic overview of the artist's search. I'm sure your daughter loved it. I did.

Since the use of iambic pentameters is not mandatory, just the norm I felt I could make my Alexandrine excursion with impunity! Thanks for your kind review. Keep up the struggle with the alliterative stuff!
Comment from Thamp
Beautiful... and thank you for the notes, very helpful/ I especially liked:
Aground, inshore, forgotten by the sea,
the flotsam and the jetsam where she seeks
that rope, shell, glass or driftwood, hid somewhere.
She'll get her inspiration from that beach.
It's her eureka thing, abandoned by the tide,
inspired discovery waits where it lies.
This is beautiful poetry. Thank you for writing and sharing.
