Excellent use of a tough form - anything with just one or two syllables is very tough in my book.

It is in my book too, but good pushing ourselves to try maybe.
You do well with the haiku, Tyler.

Miss funky boots, Elly, heh :o) superb poem, A Cinquain?, another tough challenge by any standards, yet!, this poem is awesome, I'd never have known the form existed within it's make-up unless you said so and you did. Perfect Sweetheart, loved this very much for the smiles and so easy to read too.

hugs
Mxx

Cinquains are so cool...I like this one a lot. Saw my first about a year ago and was convinced that I couldn't work within the constraints...have now found the constraints of this form to be electrifying...charges me up to make it work and be meaningful...feels good when it works. We can learn a lot from birds, can't we?

It is a challenging form for sure.

Yes we can learn a lot.
