Identity Crisis

Keep
Away from
Your concave mirror
Streaky, glassy identity
Faceless

©Drake J. Eszes
My 1st attempt in this form. I hope you all like. I read a description on what a Cinquain consists of from my dear pal, Nette Onclaud, on this form. I felt, why the hell not? So, I dabbled..."

I can relate to this poem for sure! Very nicely done, Drake. Short and sweet! You might like my poems titled, "The Real Me" and "Fading Away To Nothing". By the way, thanks so much for the comments on my poem "And Nothing Else Matters". I was listening to that Metallica song, the night I wrote it, and that poem just flowed from me! Glad you enjoyed it, and nice to meet you too!

I love shorter poems--it forces people to be concise, and picky about the words they use. I love it!

This is good - a few words can say a lot. I thought I was going to read something about Identity teft. I don't know anything about cinquain, so I don't try it. Thanks for sharing...... Lucilla

Poet Tacito

August 2, 2013 at 7:13 AM

The only reason I tried this is because Nette presented the how-to format of it so clearly. So, I thought, "why not"? Thank you very much for stopping by here, Lucilla!

Hi Drake-- I like the topic-- Cinquain hey ! Well, you will have to educate me once again. Nice and concise form of poetry, but I can see it looks easier than it is. I have writers block -- hence nothing new from this end!

Poet Tacito

July 31, 2013 at 7:33 AM

Hey Kim!!! =D I'm VERY ready for something new from you. Write about writer's block! All the cool poets are doing it! =) Thank you so much, Kim! And, yes, it only looks easier...
