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
