Grandma's tea cups swirling with sweet honey and warmth as we anticipate tea leaves telling future events of love and possible pathways, predicting minutes and moments for me. Grandma's telling future for me.

A very sweet poem Chetta. Nice memories. I love how you've positioned your words for a final verse. :)

Thank you. With cinquain, years ago a poet whose specialty was cinquain, said that in a well crafted cinquain the first and last line will make a "mini poem." He also said that in an expertly crafted cinquain the first line, plus the end word of lines 2, 3 and 4, plus the last line would make a "mini poem." I have not yet reached the expert stage. LOL
