Rob Carmack Poet Cinquain

Missing and Knowing

Missing
Your hand in mine
My weary heart has swept
The wishes into dreams that kept
You here

Knowing
Fate can’t deny
What two souls take and bind
On the other side, I will find
You there

Andrea Dietrich December 29, 2014 at 12:35 AM I much prefer this traditional style to modern. This is one time when traditional cannot be beat and yours is one of the best I have seen for this contest. Love it!!

Maurice Yvonne December 25, 2014 at 6:45 AM Rob I love your Cinquain. It flows very nicely and speaks loud and clear. I better take another look at mine. That is what I love about being here. Other poets like yourself inspire me to do better. I hope you have had a great holiday so far. Merry Christmas.
