Sestina: Bob

This is an amazing sestina. It's by Jonah Winter. Find it here in Ploughshares.

I was thinking the next sestina I would write would have one end word. As I can see now, it's been done. But what hasn't? I'm thinking my end word will be "the" ... or maybe a comma.

Jonah delivered on that tension, that wondering, when -- when -- is he going to use "bob" as a verb? There it was, finally, like an exclamation point, the poem's last word.
