Love Cinquain Collection

  Now that we have moved into the “month of love,” I thought I’d dig back through my cinquain archives and take a look at some of the love cinquains I’ve written in the past.

Three-Day Coffee Cinquain Challenge — Day 3

Okay! We’re finishing up the first full month of 2021 on a great note: with coffee and cinquain. What better combination is there? (Well …. maybe coffee and chocolate … but we’ll do that again later.) Ooopsie! Don’t want to spill Or waste a single drop Of this delicious coffee in My cup.

Three-Day Coffee Cinquain Challenge — Day 2

I admit that for this Day 2 cinquain I did not use the actual word coffee. But I stand by the poem as indicative of the allure and satisfaction that only coffee can bring. 🙂 Ready. How much longer? Your fragrance titillates. We’re trembling in our saucers now. Hurry!

And ifContinue reading “Three-Day Coffee Cinquain Challenge — Day 1”

It’s been raining here for two whole days, so I thought it was only fitting that I write about rain. Since I’m in a poetic mood, I decided I’d give myself a little workout and do one haiku, one cinquain, and one simple iambic pentameter verse about that subject. HAIKU Everything is gray. Rain hangingContinue reading “Rain Poems”

Cinquain: Just Do It

Written in response to a couple friends of mine who have said for almost a year that they’ve thought about trying to write cinquain, but they won’t even make a start. They find it fascinating, but seem to be afraid of it. They have this false idea that because they need to count syllables, theyContinue reading “Cinquain: Just Do It”

Stepping Through The Door — Cinquain

I wrote this piece for my poetry site, but decided I’d share it here as well. Portals Wait before me. I stand before closed doors But do not let that hinder me: “Open!” Behold, The doors obeyed.

Two Cinquain Just For Fun

I haven’t written any cinquain in several months.
