NOT magnificent

NOT magnificent

We thought it was a monster
but it was only a mouse
who wanted to steal our money.
With the help of a moose.
The problem was that they could not make the money move.
It was NOT magnificent.

That day was NOT magnificent
when the monster
could not make the money move.
But it was only a mouse.
With the help of a moose.
They failed to steal the money.

They needed the money
and it was NOT magnificent.
Even with the help of a moose.
This caused trouble for the monster.
But it was only a mouse
who could not make the money move.

And though they tried to make the money move
They failed to get the money.
For it was only a mouse
that was NOT magnificent
and was NOT a monster
with the help of a moose.

With the help of a moose
they could not make the money move.
Because they were not a monster
and simply wanted the money.
But it was NOT magnificent
because they were only a mouse.

They were only a mouse
with the help of a moose.
And it was NOT magnificent
for they could not make the money move.
Even if they needed the money
because they were not a monster.

The monster was only a mouse
trying to get the money with the help of a moose.
But they could not make the money move. NOT magnificent.


Yeah. My "Sestina" poem for school. I'm not so sure if it's good or not; it's too long to keep my attention. I was supposed to choose related words to end the lines with in a specified pattern, so I did mine all unrelated (but they all start with "m".) Supposedly that would make a random poem according to my teacher, but I think mine makes complete sense.

I ended up repeating phrases almost constantly for some of the line ending words. (Like "NOT magnificent" and "With the help of a moose.") I love the line about the moose. So random, but it makes sense in the context because the poem feels random overall. XD
