Brenda Meier-Hans Poet Cinquain

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.

Eileen Manassian December 12, 2014 at 10:47 PM Wonderful, Brenda. You made it all look so easy. I love the content of the poem and the lovely layout. Good luck! Brenda Meier-Hans December 13, 2014 at 7:33 AM Thanks so much Eileen.

Andrea Dietrich December 12, 2014 at 10:41 PM 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. Brenda Meier-Hans December 13, 2014 at 7:32 AM Dr. Mehta did in brackets write there are other variations of Cinquain. I wrote the type mine is under the poem.
