Stolen Fruits (Cinquain)

by Mr. Darcy   Jun 8, 2009


Tender
Flower blossoms
Are choked by blackened fist
Stealing the fruits of tomorrow
Today.

Inspired by Miss Take
*Cinquain poems came from Adelaide Crapsy in 1911, who developed her own poetic system, which she called cinquain.

These were short unrhymed poems consisting of twenty-two syllables. They were distributed into 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables in five lines.
This type of poetry was related to Japanese literary styles.

    A great writer can always explain what he/she feels with little words instead of droning on and on. You've done excatly that. Very beautiful, 5/5!

    Beautiful poem, and although it is short, the meaning is clear and precise. It makes you think of what you can relate this to in all of life. Great work.=]

    I get several possible meanings from the. The first is literal. Tender flowers, being pulled and choked by human hands leaving none for the world to enjoy. The other is that the tender blossoms represent the younger people being choked by society and their youth, thoughts, ideas (represent the fruits) are stolen today from the world.

    This has got to be the most unique poem Ive read in a long time.. honestly. What can I say... indeed this can be interpreted a few ways, as Sourav has stated.. which makes it even more unique..

    Great work! (;
    5/5. Temps.
