Sestina Poem
HHHP
Direction and Location
The breeze affected the trajectory of the ball Because for her it couldn’t have gone more
And it landed on the wrong wrong.
side of the court,
There goes one point. It was the best totally wrong thing.
One more try for the serve. There was a chance to win the point.
I tried my best. And there was my best
Return for a serve
Was it my best? Then the ball,
Well not since the ball, For once went to the right side of the court.
Because of the serve,
Was just totally wrong. Then started the next point with the ball,
And I lost the point, Going for the best of the court
To the lines on the court. Which was the wrong side for the serve.

It was then because of the court

Which was best
At giving my point
To my opponent who now
Has the ball.
I can only pray all that is wrong
Is nothing but the serve.

But then came the serve

To the right side of the court
But the wrong
Direction of my best
Hand.
Then the ball
Landed. There goes another point.

But because of that point

What was next was the serve
But where the ball
Had to land, the opposite side of the court.
It was the best thing for me
