Sabotage- In Cinquain

A tear
Flux to vast pool
Wails the woe of loves gloom
The lips that lie have bred the fool
Blame self

It is nice to see a "proper" cinquain. Yours is elegant. My favorite remains the classic, Tuscon Rain; however, entice me again: I may very well change my favorite hit list of cinquain.

Sea, thank you.  i have been struggling with my muse for quite sometime.  I thought trying new styles may help.

Panne, I think my typo may have thrown you off.  It is now corrected and reads as "vast".  Thanks for stopping by.

Faterider, I am afraid it is my only Cinquan to date.  However, I did very much enyoy writing this style.  I think I will be doing more of them.   Thank you..

Julian, thank you.  I am not familiar with the Cinquain you mentioned.  I'll have to check it out.  As far as enticing you goes...becareful what you wish for.  

James, you need professional help...stop
       morse code suits you...stop
       you never could write a full sentence...stop

very cool Marina-girl ...
I had to go to Nans workshop and refresh my self on the requirements of a Cinquain ..
which is always cool when we learn something as we go.
I will have to give this a try sometime...
doing these formats are always great ways to jumpstart a lacking muse...
So great to see your name here my friend..
yes...give us more Marina muse  

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

Marina,

This inspired me to submit a Cinquain, and I think I'll do some more too.

Janet, thank you.  You are definitely right.  I have struggled for months to find my muse again and trying different styles has made a HUGE difference.  Although there are some who wonder why I couldn't write when I had the inspiration right in front of me.      nudge nudge.

S Arthur, I am glad it has inspired you also.  I look forward to reading them.
