hello?

Where did you go?

Fading now, soft & slow

Were you a fuse destined to blow?

Hello?

[angie-words]

Another @aug-kissed inspired cinquain, this time using the prompt Frantic Kisses

Savour

When I

return to you,

starving, seeking your taste,

let me savour your fierce blessings

this time

Cinquain Poetry, Prompt: Kiss

LMK which was your favourite in the poll! (Be nice, it's my first time using this structure). I.

Whether

Upon chalice

Or thine own lips sacred

How I long to kiss and worship

Your sins

II,

Your lips

Pink blush, open

Your tongue calls, a siren

I crash into her seas, willing

Taste me

III.

That kiss

Claiming, desperate

Words swallowed, a goodbye hint

I forgive you my conscience and

I leave

IV.

Your form

My church tiles scorched

A prayer for every cell

Reverent, I grasp your lapels

Bless me IV.

I lay

Whispered freckles

Upon your sprawling stars

Ivory angled nebulas

Your spine

Part of @goodomenspoetry community weekly prompt :)

Good Omens Poetry: Aug-Kissed 6

Prompt number 6 for @aug-kissed: Gentle Peck. Tried my hand at a cinquain this time.

Cherry Atop a cake Just like the gentle peck Upon my cheek you leave behind Your love

[finleyorchid]

[angeldevilsthings]

Break down

Sanity lost

Rip at skin

With a feverish impatience

Collapse

Night sky

Darkest dawn

Sucks me in

Eyes glisten with wonderment

Nightfall

Self harm

Red blade

Clean with cloth

Euphoria with a twist

Personal injury

[a-dose-of-comatose]

Christmas

Single this year

Mistletoe long wilted

Tree left bare, ornaments dusty

Alone

[rfallfish]

The stars which fall from space now pull upon the strings which trail behind. They drag to us the dawn.

Floating

Shot through with gold

Cotton candy clouds drift

Sheep-shaped against the endless blue

Softness

[angie-words]

Having some fun with that cinquain format! Inspired by @aug-kissed and using the prompt Hand Kiss:

1941

Your hand

lingers on mine

A moment; a lifetime

It is a kiss in everything

but name

[libidomechanica]

With thee

With thee? She plague are two young—sometimes its round. All I put in shape we know charming workman.

A little November poem (although the skies here today have been a bright blue with some puffy white clouds)…

Cinquain "Autumnal Woodland Morn" originally published Nov. 9, 2008, in Every Day Poets.

Autumnal Woodland Morn

By Richard H. Fay

Bare bones scratch leaden sky while keening winds lament fallen crowns lost to November's chill touch.

Cinquains are just haikus for people in denial #1

Watch out!

The coming snow

Will blanket recent growth

If you should fail to protect it.

You'll fade...
