Notes About The Poem

Traditional Cinquain Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sotto Poet Written 2/10/2026

Living without a loved one

It seems
Just yesterday
That you were teasing and
Laughing by the bedroom doorway.
Silly.

I was
Down on my knees.
When you were handed your
Beautiful iridescent wings.
You passed.

A frail
Heart hungers for
A flicker of your face,
Your ardent, flirtatious embrace.
Miss you.

Wakeful
Nights lost in thought,
Longing for your warm soul
That now Light amid Greenfields.
I'm lost.
