thought I'd try combining 5 cinquains into one poem.


darkness...
I pass the time
counting the cricket chirps
and heartbeats that prepare for your
footsteps

shadows
across the walls
move ever so slightly
to the golden touch of the pale
moonlight

whispers
slip past my lips
hoping to lure you here
with the sweet music of speaking
your name

numbers
changing slowly
in luminescent green
roll away the night I spend here
alone

footsteps
don't stop the chirps
and my excited heart
beats slower as I seek sleep...
darkness

Mike, This is beautiful, well crafted and simply a delight to read. Great theme. No need to sink here.  Thanks for sending me to this one.

Sink..NO SIR!  
Although I have no knowledge yet of what kind of poem this is, I do know that I love what I do understand about it. Its beautiful images, thoughts, and overall deliciousness. Well done as far as my own knowledge sees.  

We're sorry..this heart has been d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d. Should you like to hold the line we'll be glad to reconnect you..
