CINQUAINS
Cinquains – are short five line poems following a prescribed format. Here are a few I wrote at the little writer’s group I’ve recently joined.
Train
hard, harsh
huffing, hissing, haranguing
straining on taught leash
thoroughbred
Coffee
black, deep
tingling, rising, steaming
chattering on noisy platforms
friends
Train
noisy, oily
thrumming, drumming, blackening
time does not wait
proletariat
