Cinquain Train

kdnxdr · Jun 22, 2012

chosen,
a loving mate
i defer all my dreams,
exchanging them for our shared hopes,
we dream

Perscribo · Jun 23, 2012

We dream
despite the night
which inks out each inkling
of an infinite color scheme
asleep.

B.D. Eyeslie · Jun 24, 2012

Asleep
alone again.
How many nights must pass
before my beloved returns
to me.

kkbe · Jun 25, 2012

To me,
Ma's blue-eyed boy,
been lookin' and I knows
ain't nothin' that these eyes ain't seen. . .
'til now.

kdnxdr · Jun 27, 2012

'til now
time passed like rain;
an ambivilent storm cloud
looming in the distance lingers;
i wait

onestepp · Jun 27, 2012

I wait
thinking moving
quickly hastily
unsure of what is to become
the end

L.J. · Jun 29, 2012

the end
is approaching
while the world parties on
oblivious, their decadence
revealed

B.D. Eyeslie · Jun 29, 2012

Revealed
to be the truth
when my senses say no--
my candle flickers in the wind
then dies.

onestepp · Jun 29, 2012

Then dies
directed, defined
staggering lethargically tired
bright colored universe faded
an end

L.J. · Jul 3, 2012

an end
desperation
satisfied, final rest
upon a velvet tapestry
below

B.D. Eyeslie · Jul 3, 2012

Below,
my cheery friend,
are sewer rats from hell.
They won't sleep 'till they pick my bones.
Daylight!

Poppy · Jul 3, 2012

Daylight
comes, I ask you
where they go when the sun
comes out. . .where did they go, all those
fireflies?

kdnxdr · Jul 3, 2012

fireflies,
caught in a jar,
illuminate your face;
summers pass, your face lingers, a
faint glow

Poppy · Jul 4, 2012

faint glow
in my blue eyes
as the Lortab begins
to take effect on acute pain--
toothache

(I have a toothache today, but I also have Lortab, lol)

Poppy · Jul 5, 2012

Toothache
is gone at last.
Now maybe I can write
a cinquain that will make more sense--
maybe.

onestepp · Jul 7, 2012

maybe
unread, undone
slowly justify bout
timeless procrastination spent
thinking

B.D. Eyeslie · Jul 8, 2012

Thinking
brings me to you.
Though I should stop my brain,
I can no longer help myself—
Obsessed.

onestepp · Jul 9, 2012

Obsessed
bewitched, gripped, held
unruly fixation
abnormally preoccupied
haunted

B.D. Eyeslie · Jul 14, 2012

Haunted
by shopping list:
poetry, pineapples,
pigs in blanket scream for syrup.
Stop me.

onestepp · Jul 15, 2012

Stop me
started, thinking
invigorating moves
stimulating intelligence
going

Meerkat · Jul 20, 2012

going
feigning progress
claiming new adventures
an odyssey from epic fail
fleeing

B.D. Eyeslie · Jul 20, 2012

Fleeing
the word police,
I found a place to hide
in the bowels of non-fiction--
memoir.

onestepp · Jul 20, 2012

memior
yearning, longing
lovely, delightful, quaint
life's pages doodles one's desires
yard line

Meerkat · Jul 21, 2012

yard line
the start of mine
the end of let us try
good fences make lazy neighbors
strangers

Polly · Jul 22, 2012

Strangers,
bereft of speech
across cooling coffee.
Once inseparable, now hid in
newsprint.
