Quintuples Poems | Examples

A Farewell To Lovely

the light that shines from poetic lines
allows me to labor incessantly through this sojourn

please know that I shall not vanquish 
the voices in my head 
though the virtuoso might feel 
they could one day silence me

I see, I smell, I taste dreams of childhood 
the voices they fill my script with needed subtext

I store these elements 
in a house with no walls and paper floors
the distance between myself and sanity quintuples
 
I see, I smell, I taste dreams of childhood
I strike the page, the page strikes back 
with neither side claiming victory
