Perfectly Poetical Tuesday: cinquain
Today's post is my first attempt in participating at Perfectly Poetical Tuesdays, a blog idea I became acquainted with through This Heavenly Life. Every month Stephanie of The Little Stuff of Life posts a new poetry form or idea for brave blog poets like myself to try out. It's a bit like good old Poetry Thursday, that I was part of in '06 and '07. Except it's once a month, instead of once a week, which (let's be honest) is a lot more in line with my poetry-writing frequency.
This month's prompt was to write a cinquain. I've never written one before, but the constraints make it a haiku-like type of poem.
My results, inspired by today's weather, are below.
Sunlight
November-pale
a summer illusion
fool's gold; it dazzles but cannot
warm me.
More poems await you.

I love this! Can I repost and credit you? Seriously-- it's everything I love and hate about sunshine in November...
Truly - this is wonderful! Following syllables instead of words is so fancy :) You must be a really REAL poet!
Ooooh nice! Love how you compared the fall/winter sunlight to fool's gold!
So different than here in Phoenix where it was like 90 degrees today! (Ugh.)
Glad you joined in! I responded to your comment about the syllables on the post, since I thought others might be interested. (It's kinda long...I do tend to ramble...sorry!)
This was lovely :) Great job!
I love that. Good job Jen!
Beautiful!
I love this! It's my first visit to your blog and I'm impressed!
Absolutely lovely!
