Taking a Dangerous Curve

Attentive eyes, skillful movement; Music tune lowered and brake applied. Distraction, a sin at the moment. Wary glimpses on the steep side; The continuous white line, my guide! 2nd Place Contest: “English Quintain, Any Theme, Write as if Doing Theme at the Moment” Sponsored by Sara Kendrick

Very wise pondering, Sunita. I love reading poems that impart wisdom ... as it is written: the wise love acquiring more wisdom. Beautiful truths poetically rendered. Lovely quintain poetry. Love and more love to you and yours.

I love the metaphorical curve of this poem, Sunita! It's easy to get distracted; luckily that 'continuous white line' often saves the day! Regards // paul

Sunita, What an image for sure in this Quintain!! This Quintain has numerous relational meanings, which, of course, teases the reader to think further, and perhaps, more deeply!! Excellent Work!! Best Always, Gary

Agree with you. This write may give a metaphoric meaning or a simple direct one. Thanks a lot for honouring me with your visits and valuable comments.:) Sunita
