Busy
Both day and night.
No time for normal stuff
Like keeping up to date with blogs.
Sorry.
Hopeful
That very soon
Stressful pace will slow down
And I can visit online friends.
Miss you.

Must die!

Echo?
I have no good excuse for this bit of ridiculous whimsy. I was just in the mood to write some cinquain, and when I put my fingers to my keyboard, this is what came out.
ECHO
I stood
On mountain top
And called out loud, “Hello,
I’m looking for my one true love;”
Then heard:
“Hello,
I’m looking for
My one true love.” — Oh, joy!
My heart was sure I’d found my love
At last.
And so
I called again
And once again reply
Came loud and strong; that lovely song
Came back.
So then
I walked around
But stopped on ev’ry side
And called my heart’s desire and heard
Reply.
Alas,
I spent the day
And grew quite hoarse in throat
But never found the love who called
To me.

Reflections in Cinquain – Daily Post Prompt
`
Moon glow
Comes from sun glow:
Burning orb of daylight
Shines covertly on reflector
At night.
Moonbeams
Come from sunbeams
Stretching, reaching to touch
Reflecting face of ev’ning moon:
Night light.

My Poetic Sin
Cinquain
It is my sin:
To take the easy way.
No rhyming and no meter strong.
Guilty!
But still
I plead my case.
It gives me more than joy.
It disciplines my use of words:
Aids skill.
So now,
My guilt assuaged,
I’m free to give myself
To writing even more cinquain.
Hooray!
I discovered recently that I have written so much cinquain over the past two years that I have enough to do a book of nothing but original cinquain.
So, I just might.
Saturday Cinquain – Just ‘Cause I’m in the Mood

Coffee Thursday 3/23/17: Cinquain
You knew I’d have to do it: write cinquain on the subject of coffee. I’m running a little late getting my “Coffee Thursday” post up this week, but I’m a great believer in “better late than never.” So here we go. If you’d like to take part, post your version of celebrating coffee on your blog and bring your link over here. Just post it in a Comment window below.
LIFE’S ELIXIR
Coffee:
Life’s elixir.
The worlds most modest brew.
Yet holds the place most prominent
As drink.
Those who
Choose to abstain
Do not know what they miss.
For comfort and refreshing kick,
It’s bliss.
So come,
And share a cup.
Or maybe even two.
It warms the heart and bonds good friends –
Coffee.

Daily Post Prompt: Label Cinquain
`
Labels:
We all wear them.
Some of them we give ourselves,
The rest come from the judgment of
Others.
I’ve learned,
As I’ve matured,
To focus on the good
And just ignore derogatory
Labels.
Life’s short,
And can be sweet,
But only if we learn
To quite ignore all labels that
Oppress.

Daily Post Prompt: Heard
`
`
I heard
The word ‘cinquain.’
It popped into my head.
And so I knew I had to write
Cinquain.
My motto is this: If you want to participate in a “Daily Post” prompt, but you have nothing of substance to write — write a cinquain. Now, it isn’t that I don’t feel cinquain can have substance. It’s more the fact that, for some reason (maybe because I like the form so much), I seem to be able to write a cinquain on almost any subject under the sun. In fact, that point makes me want to write one about — what else — the sun.
Sunshine
Poured out on me
Is like a lovely bath:
It cleanses and invigorates
My soul.
Okay. I’m done now. Here’s the link in case you want to have a go at today’s prompt.
Cinquain Quest
My quest:
Looking for love.
I want a love that lasts
Beyond the transient flame of lust
‘Til death.

I’ve studied my long “To Do” list.
I’ll wait.

Epiphany – in Cinquain
`
Sixth day.

God manifests His love.
His son has paid the price for sin
For all.
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Has come to die then rise
Again to give eternal life
To all.
Shout out!

Reveals the joyful news:
The Christ has opened up the way
To God.

Cinquain for the Tired Poet
I’m tired
But want to write.
Eyelids are drooping now.
But nobly I choose to pursue
My craft.
Let’s see:
What theme to use?
My sleepy brain says, “Well,
It must be something simple with
Short plot.”
I know:
I’ll write a verse.
I’ll keep it short and sweet,
With twenty-two nice syllables:
Cinquain.
