Nice rhyme! I think the cinquain was invented in the 1930's by Adelaide Cropsey. Well done! Matthew Anish

Autumn of my life, yes, so much more mellow, yet, every autumn season wakes me up with a fury! Though many beautiful things in nature die, I accept that as the cycle of life, and I feel renewed somehow, so much more alive. All changes in season excite me, but this one most of all. The wind, the leaves, the cool, dry crisp air. It is just too inspiring for me. Wow, sorry, got carried away! Excellent write! Love, Shar
