I've only written terza rima once. It's a bear--way tougher than sestina. Villanelles and sonnets are trivial exercises by comparison.

I like this one, partly for the way it manages to convey a coherent message (not easy when also wrestling with form), but also for your handling of the rhymes. Order/forward/ardor, for example.
