Sketches From the Past

postcards tattered relics soft paragraphs wailing faint memoirs languishingly dampened... boneless

Beautiful cinquain, Miss Nette. Hopefully this will cheer you up while your allergies are killin' ya. I think we may be much alike---I love postcards, paper, and save almost everything that moved my heart over the years...... Just holding a birthday card or post card from my family that went on to heaven soothes my aching heart. Congrats on this top notch spot! Love, Gwendolen. :)

oh, I love this nette, the lines are just beautiful "note to self write a cinquain" and regarding your comment on my poem today, I did write two poems similiar but I selected the one you read and deleted the other, the one you commented on was the better one for the contest

When I look at old photos (even postcards) of people who are no longer in my life, I get the feeling you describe so eloquently in your cinquain, Nette. Excellent use of the form and a powerful message as well. Wishing you success in John's contest. Love, Carolyn
