Have you ever written a poem called Cinquain? It has a fun rhythm to work with–2, 4, 6, 8, 2. Try one and let me know what you think about this poetic form. Following is one of mine.

Lunchtime at the River
Lunchtime
at the river.
Fresh fish in the belly.
Sunshine and water in the soul.
Fulfilled.

Love your voice. I didn’t know about Cinquain before.🥰
Thank you, Arlene.
It all fits beautifully. I never know with poetry where to start. The beginning, I guess.
Yep. No real rules in poetry, Jo.
It seems full of rules to me, Mary, but breaking them is obviously not an issue 🤗🩷
Nope. Rules are flexible. I like to read the poem out loud to see how it sounds. Actually, I read everything I write out loud before publishing. I can hear stumbles that I can’t see. Thank you for your presence, Jo.

Ah, very nice Mary! I haven’t tried this form before, but it looks like fun.
Once you start, you’ll find you like to do all day. 🙂
You are so very creative – great work!
Thank you, Mary.
Loved the poem and the style,
Thank you, Pooja.
My pleasure.
Delightful poem and photo (poor little fish!).

How you see me

In the eyes of the beholder
I am.
