Sunita U.D Palawon Poet Quintain (English)

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

Gary Bateman August 2, 2017 at 3:14 PM 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 Sunita U.D Palawon August 3, 2017 at 9:01 AM 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
