Cinquain Train Ii

Ways, means? 
My shopping list? 
My billfold; my bank card? 
There seems to be inadequacies’ 
somewhere.

Today 
the sun is bright. 
I need to cut my grass 
but the sun is so bright today 
I can’t.

from you 
flows the sunshine 
from you the wind is touch 
from you runs the river of life 
for me

fireworks 
will fly and we 
will rejoice at the end. 
If the end comes and with it a 
new start.

and Crocs, 
Alligators, 
Cotton-mouth water snakes, 
and those large Logger-head turtles; 
all bite.

Accept 
this tone, this word 
as it is printed here 
and pass it along to the next 
player.
