So we’re writing a sestude.
I created this form alongside John Simmons for 26 Treasures in 2010.
26 Treasures paired writers from 26.org.uk with 26 objects from the V&A in London, challenging them to write a sestude.
A sestude? Collins Dictionary calls it “a reflective study using exactly 62 words”.
Over time, we’ll reflect on different things using sestudes, from treasures to everyday objects, special people to significant moments.
The rule is to keep to 62 words (‘26’ in reflection), and write in any form.
Happy writing
