Cinquain Collection


Wandering Into Lost

Rewind
your wandering
inclination to fear
the lost tomorrows when this day
remains.

An Epitaph in Green

Green moss
decorates the
wings of a stone angel.
An epitaph now covered in
new life.

Spring’s Faux Pas
  
Winter
froze the tulips.
Spring hadn’t asked permission
to paint the black and white landscape
reborn.

 At Real Toads Marian prompted us to write a cinquain.

I love the green moss covering the gravestone. New life for sure.

I really enjoyed all three. I too like the complete sentence of the first one. I like the irony of the second. And the almost sassiness of the third. Well done Susie :-)

Happy Sunday ~

Very pretty - I think I like the angel best as it is such a cool thing to see. (I like it mainly because I just love seeing this angels with moss and bromeliads.) k.

Each one is a little miracle. You have a keen eye for detail which enriches short form verse. I love the black and white landscape repainted in Spring.

Each one has charmed me, like your photos, with the unusual. I like the winter's punishment of spring as I have often wondered why they must freeze.
