Stickney Structured Prose

A COUPLET
Once, in the past
by you lies my heart

A TERCET
Ringed with marbled dreams
passions ns are subldued
in the soul of time

A QUATRAIN
Be still - listen
live
a smile, a tear
learn suffering

A CINQUAIN
At the hour dawn-
loneliness...
The wind dissipates the mist
separation..
Autumn is done

Inspired by the titles of Trumbull Stickney's work
