Cinquain

Love

Love?
Wild Emotion,
Drives you crazy!
Two souls become one.
Then the dream must end...
Heartache.


Hate

Hate?
Wild emotion,
Makes you bitter!
Souls ripped into shreds.
Consuming and destroying the mind...
Heartache.


.....I'll get to the other challenges i.e the drinking challenge tomorrow!! Goodnight!!

thank you for responding to my cinquain challenge....though these aren't exactly cinquains(cinquain is a 5-line poem with 1st line having one word,2nd line having 2 words,3rd line having three words,4th line having 4th words and the last line having one word)
but nevertheless,these are short,neat poems and i enjoyed reading them  ")i like the way you use "wild emotion" and "heartache" in both poems  ")

allow me to try this   ")

Love
Heart races
Like an antelope
knocking blindly into trees
Delightful

Hate
Heart races
Like a bull
dashing madly onto people
Frightening

thank you 4 trying this out  ")

These are great, Lizzie.  I find this much harder to do than haiku.

What a pathetic poet I must be...told exactly how to write a cinquain and still manage to get the form wrong. Ok y'all, please pretend I didn't call these Cinquains and I'll give the Cinquains another go tomorrow!

Thanks for all the replies!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Princess Poet, it is Kaile's challenge! It was posted in the Pub very recently...within the last couple of days or so.
Thanks all for the replies!
Kaile-I guess I should leave the cinquain writing to you! You managed to make my rudely crafted pieces into beautiful little cinquains. Hats off to you!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
