Yin Yang Sestina

This is a difficult poetic form, but I was determined to do it. I've never worked so hard on a poem. Sheesh!! The structure is as follows: Find six words and number them 1 through 6. Each LINE of each STANZA must end with one of the six words in the following order. Stanza 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Stanza 2: 6 1 5 2 4 3 Stanza 3: 3 6 4 1 2 5 Stanza 4: 5 3 2 6 1 4 Stanza 5: 4 5 1 3 6 2 Stanza 6: 2 4 6 5 3 1 Stanza 7: Three lines (a tercet) the first line using 1 and 2, the second 3 and 4, and the third 5 and 6. My six words are: harmony circle images unknown lonliness night
