Harvest Sky "Cinquain"

Black night.

Shimmering moon...

Lights up the eastern sky.

Illuminating harvest moon

Shine on.

I love the image

but you are playing pretty loose with cinquain form, how about ababb? Why not just call it a short poem? If you want to see an example of superb poetry adhering to the strictest forms see Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" cheers, Jess "Are we having fun yet?"

Dylan Thomas

As I remember his writing...and the poem. His writings are filled with drama and charged with emotive descriptions. Certainly, a very talented poet. As I remember his life, Brilliantly insane, and this is not a strike against him as far as I am concerned. Thank you for your kind advice concerning my poem. I struggle with imagery. In my 'older' age I guess I have become simple as far as my words and intellectual thought processes are concerned. This is why I am here...to get better, because I love to write so much! In critiquing me...you have given me something to think about. Keep it up. Best Wishes, Wolfy.
