Cinco Cinquains
A beautiful, unedited image of a sunset in Washougal, WA- 8/4/2023
Once upon a time I created pieces of poetry. I long to find the inspiration and the motivation to write poetically again.
A cinquain is a five-line poem with a “2-4-6-8-2” syllabic pattern.
1)
Dreaming
PG-13
Laughing and cuddling
An odd, subconscious desire
For you
2)
July
Hot Desert Rain
She’s aging gracefully
Youthful in spirit and happy
Birthday
3)
Unsexed
An ego loss
The undoing of her
Liberated and empowered
Freedom
4)
Higher
Divine Guidance
Reaching, needing, leaning
Acceptance is such a relief
Power
5)
Inhale
Timid, shallow
Shamelessly panicking
Courageously facing the fear
Exhale
