Grant, if you feel like taking a short break from that, try Ezra Pound's sestina Altaforte. Sometimes both words appear in the title, parted by a colon. It'll put the hair up on the back of your neck; Bertrans de Born was a man who was right over the edge -- and no mean poet, in medieval French, himself. Then lateral over to Joe Haldeman's Saul's Death for another spooky exercise in the sestina verse form.
