    A crowd
    Of daffodils
    Sways in a bright meadow
    Wordsworth paints a pretty picture
    Poets

    For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
    And I am sick at heart.

    Poets,
    different children,
    learned late to hide your heart,
    found a strength in the tender ways
    of love

    of love
    there is no end
    like the circle of life
    it goes on and on forever
    turning

    Turning over there
    and coming back
    this is love
    always and forever
    No end

    in this game, take the last line of the previous persons cinquain, the same way we play the shared Haiku game.
    No problem for me and I don't mean to be a stickler but maybe a review of the 'rules'.

    hmm a little deviation from the form but since there's still 2 syllables at the end i guess i can continue...

    No end
    to the rigors;
    and still, down the deep bend
    of duty, and forbearance, soars--
    uproars.
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    Uproars,
    Wild riotous
    Assemblies, for a cause,
    Or, the Masters say, malicious
    Purpose.
    Voices mysterious far and near,
    Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
    Are calling and whispering in my ear,
    Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

    purpose,
    a weeping face
    above the falling rain,
    a sliding smile in granite skies
    twinkling.
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    twinkling
    the dark night sees
    across the midnight sky
    peering through seeking direction
    turning

    The seasons change
    Nature withers and dies
    Spring comes and life starts anew
    Rebirth

    rebirth
    it happens when
    your inside earth grumbles
    and your outer plates cause friction
    pushing

    pushing
    the options out
    and thereby welcoming
    the agonies, doubting about
    the doubts
    .

    the doubts
    freeze me in place
    I grow numb waiting now
    for a smart man to thaw me out
    hurry

    hurry
    this is not me
    I stop to watch rain fall
    and listen for the Monarchs wings
    passing

    passing
    lone island fluff,
    swaying spokelike tendrils
    that leap sugared curves across the
    salt sea.

    (dandelions, the light kind)
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.
