“My Journey,” A Reverse #Cinquain
For my Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge this week I used finding for breakthrough, and journey for movement.
New Cinquain Poetry Forms
(Many Thanks to Scott from the House of Bailey.Wordpress.com for the information)
* Reverse Cinquain: A form with one 5-line stanza in a syllabic pattern of two, eight, six, four, and two. Click the link above to learn new ways of writing Cinquain poetry.
Journey –
finding out what makes my heart soar
empathic connections
crystals and runes
divine

I just stopped by to say I’m going underground … got me some writing to do. I’ll see you in the fall … maybe.

This is awesome! I had a bit of a brainwave this morning! Ha ha… To start each chapter of Book Two with a Cinquain. I need to get practising, never written a Cinquain before! Think I’ll start with a normal one and then graduate to a reverse one!

Here is the link to my weekly challenge:https://colleenchesebro.com/2018/04/24/colleens-weekly-tanka-tuesday-poetry-challenge-no-81-enchant-shape-synonymsonly/. All you do is follow my directions, write your poem on your blog, and link back to me. I include your blog in the recap I do on Mondays. You can’t use the prompt words I suggest – instead you are required to find synonyms for the words. It’s great fun. ❤
