The ‘NaPoWriMo 2013‘ challenge today is to write a cinquain.
‘A what’, I said, adding a few words that aren’t suitable for a public forum. Fortunately, this was explained as a poem that employs stanzas with five lines. But wait, not just any five lines, no, ‘each line has a certain number of accented or stressed syllables, and a certain number of overall syllables per line’. Serves me right, I was remiss yesterday so I guess ’tis fair punishment, now where is my Thesaurus?
Heartbreak,
one feels your wrench.Rhythmically shaking,
crying, sobbing, through shattered fears.Relief.
