I’m sharing Diana Peach’s Crown Cinquain as part of this week’s Poetry Challenge Stars. This is amazing work. Notice how the stanzas flow from one to another telling the story of the image. ~Colleen~
Ritual
mehndi
love painted hands
palms offering the world
the beauty of hearts awakened
sacred
umber
scented color
my bridal ritual
bless me with joyful abundance
wisdom
sweet love
enchant my skin
butterflies transform me
lotus stirs my soul to flower
freedom
water
ripples of change
sunbirds carry my prayers
on gossamer dragonfly wings
reborn
guide me
auspicious art
drawn in ancient symbols
even the gods and goddesses
adorned

My first crown cinquain ever.
