Good cinquain...gee, all these different cinquain forms...I couldn't even get the first one right! I'll try this one I think, I'll just have to write the form down so I must look at it while composing the thing! This is a very good reply to Marina's challenge too.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Nature's Jewels

Morning,
Dew jewels glisten,
Upon a spider’s web,
Delicate, intricate weaving,
Shining.

*claps softly* Very good.

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Hmmm... This is good... Kaile, I just figured out what stumbles me about these... Haikus, Senryus, Tankas and this Cinquain... It's the limitation on words.

With the thought that you want to express, how do you come up with the exact number of syllables to constrain those thoughts?
