:D! I've never tried sestinas before. Very almost gave up halfway through, but OMG I am so pleased with it now.

perfect sestina! Plus, there's something about a sestina, the circularity and repetitiveness of it, that make it perfect for the repetitions and vicious circles of Sam and Dean! And I love the demon pov! There should be MORE spn poems!

That is just awesome. And I barely know SPN. :) What creative and chilling use of the end-words, and such tight, lively stanzas.

As a sometime sestina writer, I'm curious: What made you decide to do 6 rather than 7 stanzas? Was it because the poem felt finished there? It definitely does feel complete; I'm only wondering.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad it worked for you, even though you don't know SPN much :)

Honestly, I copied the pattern down wrong. By the time it had occurred to me that maybe a poem form all about sixes should have six sestets, I'd finished it. Like you said, it seemed complete, so I just left it!
