POETRY FRIDAY: An Original Cinquain








The cinquain is a poem of five lines and twenty-two syllables that was developed by a woman named Adelaide Crapsey.

Here’s a cinquain that I wrote a few years ago. I think it’s perfect for posting at this time of year.

Winter,
Weary and worn,
Wearing a muddy white
Robe, frees her icy grip, makes way
For spring.
