Cinqain

Cinquain - inspired by this.

Journey

Here to somewhere

Facing changing landscapes

Shifting lost security bewilders

Passage

Bird said...: i just noticed the link to this from my blog - delightful. noone's ever done that before - i like it.

this is a lovely cinquain.

altho some folk consider the cinqain too ... formatted, i like to play with the structure (and sometimes break it) - it helps to bring a poetic message or image into sharp relief i think - as you have done here.; 1:32 AM

About limp lettuce

I began this poetry blog as catharsis, at a very difficult point in my life when I was dealing with terminal illness of my mother, and potential collapse of my marriage. The words just emerged, formed poems and were unbidden and insistent. And helped. Now (2022) at another very difficult time when my family are coping with bereavement and adjusting to living with chronic illness and depression, the words are swarming in my head again. They circle, form patterns and have found their way here. I find the way this happens so fascinating. And think (hope) that maybe some less painful reflections might also start to find a home here. And that some of all this may resonate with you. © 2006.
