Cinquain

Love’s Pangs

Longing,
a young woman’s turmoil
seeking sweet release
her talents wasted
Heartbreak

Aware,
learning to be free
inner flower dances
luring love’s bees
Fulfillment

Solitude

Loner
missing his smile
just wanting to cry – now
as these walls become a prison
Forlorn

Clean, Cook and Laugh dear friends
Joyous winter solstice feasting

Long dark eventide
Celebrate – rejoice – feast
Birth of the new sun arisen

Double Cinquain:

The Internet

Surfing
Amusing – fun!
Link up, follow, subscribe,
Wonderful virtual planet…
The Web!

The Web
Easy – messy
Click, type and navigate,
Unknown virtual cyber world…
A Net!

Poor gnome
Garden worker
Plants bulbs throughout the day
Feeling so stressed and put upon
Elf like.
