Cinquain Train

CDSinex · Apr 6, 2013

Taken down for submission

onestepp · Apr 20, 2013

effort
push, pull, toil, lift
quietly, hastily
moving forward; right direction
power

kdnxdr · Apr 23, 2013

power
lingers silent,
sure immortality -
until the slip of life betrays
such truth

onestepp · Apr 28, 2013

such truth
loyal, sincere,
indubitably real,
unquestionable allegiance,
gospel

kdnxdr · Apr 28, 2013

gospel,
intimate truth,
an anchor for the soul,
holds court; choose your freedom wisely,
fear God

onestepp · Apr 29, 2013

fear God
scare, alarm, dread
anxious agitated
terror's tremendous truism
shocking

CDSinex · May 2, 2013

Shocking
reds and yellows
after months of bleak grays.
May woke to find the tulips in
full bloom.

onestepp · May 3, 2013

full bloom
unfold, unfurl
beauty, freshness, vigor
life's one magnificent summit
rosey

kdnxdr · May 4, 2013

rosey,
the world in hue
transposes perspective,
faux realities, deluding ;
clearly

onestepp · May 6, 2013

Clearly
blaring roaring
thunderous earsplitting
resounding ear-piercing trumpets
volume

JustSarah · May 12, 2013

Volume
a recorded number
held by an old bookshelf
waiting to be picked.
Book

kdnxdr · May 14, 2013

Book:
friend, confidant,
an intimate reader
of my soul, you know me; right words
speak true

onestepp · May 18, 2013

Speak true
voice, vocalize
assert, declare, richness
break silence speaking one's piece
lecture

B.D. Eyeslie · May 20, 2013

Lecture
talk, mumble, hiss,
speak nonsense to the hills.
Pontificate to the masses—
brainwash.

CDSinex · Jun 2, 2013

Brainwash
and soul cleansing.
Sleeping at Marshfield Falls—
the sound of nearby thunder goes
unheard.

dfwtinman · Jun 5, 2013

Unheard
gray-faced soldiers
march, casting long shadows
beneath the low sun of winter
unmourned

JustSarah · Jun 5, 2013

Unmourned
an unpleasant fact, that
reveals itself on a rainy day of
a large scale funeral, a business
formality.

William E. Harlan · Jun 5, 2013

Formal.
Dressed up Haiku?
Cinquain feels strange on me,
Or maybe like a spelling bee.
Formal.

onestepp · Jun 5, 2013

Formal
fitting, accepted,
stately systematic,
characteristically correct,
proper

William E. Harlan · Jun 5, 2013

Proper.
I didn't know.
Please don't cry anymore.
Why did it come off with your hat?
A wig.

onestepp · Jun 8, 2013

A wig
long, ornament
interwoven curly
natural abundant flowing
of hair

William E. Harlan · Jun 8, 2013

Of hair,
I know little.
I have always been bald.
A long fingered Sengir knows more
Of blood.

onestepp · Jun 16, 2013

of blood
hot, cold or warm
vigorously alive
ancestors lifelong pedigree
fluid

kkbe · Jun 16, 2013

Fluid,
thou wrecks the feet,
wet from raw heel to arch.
Toecapped tootsies slide, tormented.
Squish squish.

William E. Harlan · Jun 16, 2013

Squish, squish.
We've come for you.
Seaweed and saltwater.
Can you hold your breath forever?
Buried.
