Father's Day

Seedling
Watered and fed
Surrounded by rich soil
Bathed in sunshine and gifted love
Grow strong

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.

    This is brief, but beautiful. Amazing.

    Very beautiful, you have chosen your words so carefully.

    I think there is another version of Cinquain which depends on using words as noun/adjective/verb... Once more it was a lovely read. Thank you for sharing.
