Hi Folks~ wave.gif

Following Dolly's lead here and after reading and interacting with you all in the Haiku and Tetractys Train threads, I've decided to start a SEPARATE thread for an Interactive Cinquain Train.  

A Cinquain Train!



Same rules (to quote Dolly):

I'll write a cinquain, and then the next person begins theirs with the last line of mine, the next person begins theirs with the last line on that one, etc.  They do NOT have to be on the same subject, but they CAN be if you wish.  It's all up to YOU! Whattaya think?  Shall we give it a go?

How about attempting to write one a day for 15 or 30 days in a row?  Anyone game to commit to this endeavor?  

I'll begin this thread:

Angels;
behest His love.
Seldom seen, always felt,
everlasting serenity.
Guide us.

Thank you, Lori!  Yes, I really like interactive poetry and I sure like yours!Here's mine, beginning with Alan's last two words:


We pray
for all we want
and hope for all the rest.
Don't have to agree with what's best
for us.

Note:  "Shoobie" has long been the derisive term for a weekend visitor to the beach in New Jersey... I think 'cause they used to carry their gear in a shoe box... or something.

and the drinkies want to go down

Why not.

looping the double loop, hangman

Once more
the threads of life,
being woven again
into an intricate pattern.

TRIPPING

Tango'd,
waltzed, fox trotted;
rumba'd, boogied, cha-cha'd;
salsa'd, reggaed, twisted my two
left feet.

to ride the rails with friends
and say "I've missed you all so much!"
