Line 3 has three words that tell the action. Line 4 has four words that express the feeling Line 5 has one word which recalls the title. https://www.poetrysoup.com/dictionary/cinquain --------------------- Contest of Brian Strand

You describe a homeless orphan really well, Nette, considering the limitation of words. A sad situation which makes the reader want to reach out and offer a comforting hand. Congrats on your fine win. Hugs // paul
