Cinquain Train

Jayne · Nov 8, 2006

To me
winter’s lake leers
saccharin blue; finds fault
with my mood’s deeper mirror of
cold sky

Godfather · Nov 8, 2006

cold sky
kiss it baby
lets drink some beer and grin
we got nothing else to do. well...
there's that

kborsden · Nov 8, 2006

there's that
the only thing
that is worth living for
and then there is the other thing
the end

ddgryphon · Nov 8, 2006

The end,
for all its loss,
simply a poor method
used in seeking new methods to
begin

kborsden · Nov 9, 2006

begin
circle of life
the well of forgiveness
vision of a new horizon
in smiles

Godfather · Nov 9, 2006

in smiles;
another world.
your smile, oh what a smile
your smile will justify me for
ever

ddgryphon · Nov 9, 2006

Ever
pleasant, ever
joyful, no matter time
or seasons reflected within
her eyes

moblues · Nov 9, 2006

her eyes
liquid thunder
froze my heart, took my soul.
bowed my head, accepted defeat
I'm hers

moblues · Nov 9, 2006

I'm hers
won't deny it
eyes of flashing cobalt
thighs that could not but mesmerize.
I beg

A. Hamilton · Nov 9, 2006

I beg,
spit obscenely
against your sneer of spite
as you glibly shrug and refuse
my coin

moblues · Nov 9, 2006

my coin
spent unwisely.
it was such a fool's chase
your virtue was much less than that
for naught

moblues · Nov 9, 2006

for naught
what have I wrought?
for lack of medicine
I have condemned my child to hell.
Forgive me

poetinahat · Nov 9, 2006

Forgive me
For the first time
You will get used to it
And agonise about it much less
With time

moblues · Nov 9, 2006

With time
Our bodies break
Each soul falls to fallow
If I could take away this pain
I'd lived

Jayne · Nov 10, 2006

I'd lived
with broken men,
patched them up with my gaze,
stayed just long enough for them to
break me

ddgryphon · Nov 10, 2006

Break me
without remorse
without promise or care
casually fail to see my
damage

Ganesha · Nov 11, 2006

damage
your eyes appear
bruised by my piercing glance
as you dance with her, my rival
I broil

moblues · Nov 11, 2006

I broil
boss is watchin'
the tar sticks to my lungs
only forty feet to freedom
damn guns

moblues · Nov 12, 2006

damn guns
brother's dyin'
can't make it through the lines
I'm hurt too. Don't know how bad
I pray

kborsden · Nov 12, 2006

I pray
every day
for my own salvation
redemption and peace from life's grief
in vein

A. Hamilton · Nov 12, 2006

in vein
cursing desire
stifled by protocol
never flows from heart to actions
stagnates

kborsden · Nov 12, 2006

stagnates
in viscous pools
time stands still in waters
unknowingly unleashing tears
saltened

Ganesha · Nov 12, 2006

saltened
her pale blue eyes
blazed into burnt anger
tears evaporated leaving
salt pools

poetinahat · Nov 12, 2006

salt pools
in rock hollows
a lap of tidal lapse
above the sole-searing beach sands
quiet

kborsden · Nov 13, 2006

quiet
deafened silence
unsound disquieting
unsettling morbid lack of noise
rings out
