Longing For Home

I hear silent whispers bidding me to come home. Longingly I reach out my hand hoping. I smile. With closed eyes your beauty appears, hills and fields, forests green, I have reached home for good. Classic Cinquain With syllable count 2-4-6-8-2 Done as Mirror Cinquain Syllable count 2-4-6-8-2 2-8-6-4-2 Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 12.12.2014 Contest: Cinquain

brenda, I am so confused by this challenge. I looked at his examples and rules for it. Yours is a little different, how you start each one. I prefer your way. does he mean we can do this way OR the way he showed us? To show Longing with a noun at the top is just not going to work.

Dr. Mehta did in brackets write there are other variations of Cinquain. I wrote the type mine is under the poem.
