    but joy
    is the name of
    a dodo and no chance
    of finding one to sing the song
    of love.

    Extinct
    Lost in a time
    When order fractures and
    Wakes nocturnal with angry eyes

    But Joy!
    Harked the angels.
    The Demons were banished
    And the ignorant purity
    kept Chaste

    kept Chaste

    Metre
    is a measure
    of the air you inhale
    and exhale into graded words
    in life.

    I find what my
    Maker had in mind for
    me and what I shared with his sleight
    of hand

    Is this right??????

    In hand

    We walk together

    Till the road ends

    And all we have is us

    Forever together.


    I have no Idea if I did that right but here it is!

    It's lovely but not the correct form. You begin with the last two syllables of the person above you, so it should have been 'of' hand and then you follow the pattern of syllables for a cinquain...

    Good luck and try again, often.

    I watch you reach
    do not prick your finger
    unless prepared to sleep it off
    wake up

    wake up
    your fates await
    pick one for your own style
    or dark destiny may find you
    sweating

    sweating
    tossing, turning
    a hot night of dreaming
    drag me through the sand to oceans
    quenching

    quenching
    this early dew
    day rising like magma
    from the oceans edge makes me burn
    for life

    for life
    and plenitude
    to show, window blinds must
    spread slivers of our inside selves
    to day
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    to day
    a toast to you
    I hold my glass up high
    my face a rainbow reflecting
    crystals

    crystals
    of starlight flash
    like a fairy's hard gaze,
    iridesce keenly before my
    dark eyes
