Ghairo Daniels Poet Cinquain

seasons speak

[Poet’s Note : the fourth verse of this cinquain was written for ‘Scents of Autumn’ contest sponsored by JCB Brul, already posted on this pg.]

 shiver
woollen scarf black
earth in cold dreamland sleeps
brooding we strengthen barriers
wild winds 

<~>

awake !
yolk bursts a beak
faint gardenia sweet
freshly cut grass, lips open wide
buds sleek

<~>

bright blue
cool linen new
litchi ice-cream dripping down throat 
sun laughs loud
hot lot

<~>

mellow
maturation 
cinnamon floats woody
musky flesh loamy depths spice-wise
mushrooms 

<~>

cycles
forever turn
seasons speak singularly 
winter spring summer autumn rings
bring zings 

<~~~~~~~>
