Cinquains For A Wynter's Day


To Love
To warm your heart
To say the words with touch
To know that every feeling is
Special

Special
Hearts, one to one
Beat each other's rhythm
Lifeline needing, constant feeding
To Share

To Share
The hushing sounds
Of silent offerings
Gifting in tenderness, to each,
Their Love

Their Love
Affectionate
Never wavers in cold
Seeks the flame of passion, to light
Each Night

Each Night
In arms, beheld
A richness, one embraced
Just a glimpse of eternity
To Love


M

Maureen, this is beautiful...
May I copy this off, so I can study this form of poetry?
And, what exactly is the count of the syllables,
or whatever it is?

The easiest way for me to learn something is to practice
the examples. Thank you, friend....

Hearty hugs from
Ethel

Smartchick told me it is in the workshop challenge
but it goes like this

2 syllables
4 syllables
6 syllables
8 syllables
2 syllables

There may be a more structured definition in the workshop...and friends and I did them as a round, taking the last syllables of each and making them the first of our next ending with the first again.

Thank you Ethel.

A well,
Deep, fresh and full
Of love lies within you.
You dip from it for every word
You write.

Tasty. Every one.

Sipping
Of words laid out
Tempting me to drink of
Phrases, a feast of eyes and more
Tasting

I thank you Ed
You tempt me to respond in poetry.

This is very beautiful. Not easy such results with the counting of syllables.

Interesting chain, this, don't recall seeing it before.
More circle than chain, I'll bet there is a way to represent it as a continuous loop.
You should give this variation a name, M.
