English Quintain

An English Quintain poem is (five line stanzas with a rhyming pattern of a,b,a,b,b ), with 10 syllables per line , there is no specific meter.

The delicious odor of home-baked bread instantly takes me to mum's kitchen door, I'm in heaven, though not a word is said. Kneading the dough, she'd punch it down once more, calling for three risings, she'd give it four. I can never resist that fresh-baked smell, just one whiff and once more, I'm a small boy, there's no smell like it; I could always tell. It's forever linked to a time of joy, a nostalgic quirk, memories employ. The instant its unique aromas waft up my nostrils, with that heavenly scent, I envision my mum's hugs, firm yet soft. Going to the bakery's an event that brings back flashes of mom's French accent. (English- Quintain) 2/18/2018
