how would,
these profligates,
atone for plight and loss
if affluence is of little
concern
Concern

when all around is woe,
seeping every gladness here-thence,

tracts with abject canker,
nurturing the thick coat of stress,

I'm confused. I thought the next person was supposed to start their cinquain with the last two words of the person before them.
I just kept continuing from the last two syllables of mine... I've come to realize that many lit netters who contribute to this Cinquan topic condone repeated posts but always with the last two syllables available for the next random chain.
You may resume from the syllables: Embalmed..
(And I believe it is the last two syllables not words..)
Hello and welcome to the forums by the way, ampuole. I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay (as well as, if not better than I have) :).

I think it strange
what warmed a lover's touch
and made us blush and healed our wounds
is gone
Is gone
From the Table
The small glass elephant
I got from the souvenir shop
Today
Today

Back when things went astray
was all yesterday's westerlies--

Give yourself away
To your joy and sadness
Fall back into my arms and rest
Trust me
Trust me

Andromeda

the female warrior now unchained
bright star
farewell
to life, i bade!
i have drunk from the well
of life, now 'tis time to join dead
comrades.
oops!
bright star
shines on me, and
it whispers in my ear
stories of a faraway land,
once grand...
