Sheer Voices - Cinquain - Cinqku

water his undertoe where seagulls still cry for his touch on the stiffening mast sails gone sea swept — his shipwreck staging her oars whispers in the water she screams

This is truly wonderful and beautifully worded. Your cinquains spoke a lot in some lines, and it sounds like the water itself crying in solitude and shattering—so sparse.

This reads like the sea itself mourning in silence and shatter--so spare, yet drenched in emotion. The shift from "whispers in the water" to "she screams" is devastatingly powerful. A shipwreck of a poem in the best way.

Sometimes, when you do "profound" using only metaphors, I feel stupid cause I don't get it. THIS I GOT AND LOVE HAVING, it is perfect, it delivers, and both my head and emotions feel it. So happy for my head and emotions, as awoken today, by you. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Dear Paige Your wonderful verse explores sorrow, desire, and the lingering remembrance of a broken romance. The shipwreck and sea metaphor indicates grieving for something lost or altered.
