Hi Alan, knight.gif

Forgive the informality in the title! Speechless.gif

QUOTE
SOMA WRONG AND SOMA WRITE
It's ana Italiano Cinquaina

Coma-
(comma) toes in
line three, not in a bed,
compose themselves for sleep, if not,
compose !

Love
Alan



This is far too clever for me in my state of health!  Took me about seven minutes to figure this out.  BRILLIANT!!

Morning Dew

dewdrops
cling like jewels
suspended from the web
of a spider on the sundial
then.. melt




Best I can do till I wake up my friend. cloud9.gif

Where do you hide
when I need you to be
strong and confident? I am lost.

light on your face
animating your smile
remembering your gentle touch
I cry

your soul
mirrored brightly
beside my reflection
burnishing this winter morning
I smile

kisses
shared under wraps
oft come with her; she… gives
herself away delectably

Hi Daniel,

Welcome aboard!  What took you so long???   laugh.gif

I love this rapt kissy-poo cinquain ... it's so .... it's so .... so ... um .... tantalizingly chocolate!!

Perhaps
should I unwrap
the warmth that covers me
my unrapt bod would surely freeze,
NOT melt!

BUT

Chocolate
I'm surely not
so rapt I will remain.
The winter cold has dipped so low
I'd freeze!

You mean back aboard?  Someone threw me overboard a while back, and since I can't swim, it's a miracle I got back.  Who was that who deep sixed me?  Was it Alan?  *smile*

Well, Dolly... these two are excellent cinquains!  VERY well constructed indeed.  I doff my beret [ and nothin' else! ] to thee!

eye'd freeze
on chocolate
at our local sweet shoppe
if we're window-shopping today...
so won't!
