One form I will look into in the future is the ghazal. It has a very haunting feel to it and works well with telling a story. For my poem this week, I wish had done it in as a ghazal rather than a sestina. The feel that I wanted for the poem was a returning kind of feel. Meaning, I wanted the reader to always come back to a central place. The sestina was too long and winding for a poem that should have been more focused and descriptive. It was difficult trying to link each stanza.

Your poem may have been well suited to a Ghazal rather than a Sestina. You would have been able to focus on the different places but also have each connect someway. You should think about revising it using a different form, definitely, and see how it works out.
