The
first word of line 2 is the last word of line 1 and the
last
word of line 2 is the 1st word of line 1.
The
first word of line 3 rhymes with the last word of line 3.
The
first word of line 4 is the last word of line 3 and the
last
word of line 4 is the 1st word of line 3.
The
first word of line 5 rhymes with the last word of line 5.
The
first word of line 6 is the last word of line 5 and the
last
word of line 6 is the 1st word of line 5.
The
Mirror Sestet can also be written in non-rhyme.
All
rules must be followed except there is no 1st and last word rhyming.
Example
Poem
It Worked
"Turds
like him can speak in fancy words.
Words that
promise much. Those phony turds.
Great gods I
fell for it." Here I wait,
Wait for
Merlin to do something great.
"Smile
for then he'll make it worth your while.
While there,
he'll match figure to your smile."
