My Superb Sestina/NZ Writing

Kia Ora Bloggers,
Today for writing, we have been working on a sestina poem. A sestina is a poem that has 6 lines, each with 6 words. We had to write about a journey. This is what our sentences had to be about:


Line 1 - Something you saw
Line 2 - Something you remember
Line 3 - A person who was with you
Line 4 - A wonderful imagined thing that didn’t actually happen
Line 5 - A reason for your journey

Line 6 - Random 6 word sentence

Here is my Sestina Poem:

6 line,6 word story
A climbing wall, outside a mall
A tower of crispy chicken rice
My mum and my annoying brother
I ate a donut every day
There were some wonderfully cheap flights
I really want some cheese rolls

We will be sending these to a school in Hamilton. We are looking forward to reading.
Mine doesn’t make much sense but our teacher said that that is ok.
Have you ever written a sestina poem before?

  1. Hello Hana, it's Hamish. I really like your poem. it's reall creative. i like how it's sort of inbetween nonsensical and making sense. i also like the part about the cheese rolls.
