The sestina form as used by Carol Rumans for 'Rules for Beginners' is exactly a sestina. Rhyme isn't necessary, but repetition of words at line ending is. The last 3 lines of the poem are called the envoi because the form originated with the French troubadours. It is described as the most complicated verse form they ever devised.
