Sam Kauffman Poet Cinquain

Song of My Heart

Song of My Heart

Heart song,
Midsummer dream,
Intones sweet poetry,
Love notes resolve in harmonies -
Vespers 

Music,
Weaves themes of joy,
Transposes dawn and dusk
Tableaus of half-notes bind lost chords -
In tune

Verses 
Winsome lyrics
Tempos sing in duets,
My song breathes in stanzas of sighs
On key

Refrains,
Heart arias,
Beat with mercy’s cadence
Laughter chants a prelude to peace -
Pure pitch

Heartbeats
Sing like love songs
Strummed upon taut heartstrings
Breathless choruses of downbeats - 
Heart songs

Being a musician this theme was so close to my heart. I think that writing haiku strings really helped in writing this cinquain string but, that being said, so grateful for your lovely feedback! :) Can't wait to see your cinquain. I know it will be marvelous! Sending you blessings of inspiration!
