cinquain
CINQUAIN
The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count, there's a few different ways to write them, so for ease of playing the game of cinquain, let's play ...
line 1 - 2 syllables
line 2 - 4 syllables
line 3 - 6 syllables
line 4 - 8 syllables
line 5 - 2 syllables
the next person uses the last line to begin again
they can be as simple or as complex
as you wish to make them
here's an example
2. home run
4. driving with force
6. last base is looking good
8. screaming & chanting the crowd cries
2. for more
the next person starts with 'for more' and so forth and so forth

the mood
strikes me as strange
when I should feel happy
I only feel disconnected
from them

all was taken
leaving nothing behind
broken souls, left under duress
starving |

with salty wet streaks, streaming down
your face

your face
is the skin of
everything that I touch
I hide beneath my memories
of you

memories haunt
recesses of my mind
a tangled web of emotions

and I lost the key years ago
somewhere

there is sunshine
and some where there is rain
some where there is morning town, miles
away
