Lately I find myself exploring poetry more and more. Not just reading it, but writing it as well. It's still extremely new to me, so there's an element of unease there. However, I also find it an interesting form of writing. Recently I've learned about cinquains. I've tried my hand at them. They look deceptively simple, but getting the right amount of syllables while keeping the poem comprehensible was still tricky. And fun! I chose easy topics to start with. Things that bring me joy. So here's a set of 5 cinquains.
Tea
Warm hands
My soul softens
One sip, eyes closed, blissful
Like a comfortable blanket
Is tea
The Ocean and I
Bare feet
Sand between toes
Silence, only the waves
This moment nothing else exists
Just us
Blankets
Cosy
Soft, warm and safe
With you wrapped around me
I am protected, not alone
Rest now
Books
New worlds
Between pages
Live a thousand lives more
Whisked away for a little while
The end
Autumn
Leaves change
Green to yellow
Red and brown, letting go
Drifting through the air, descending
Rain pours
