Okay, okay, I'm a copycat. I saw the haiku thread and I remembered I had a couple cinquains I'd written that I liked and thought, fine, I'll start another one. I for one don't care how many you post at once, I'd read them.

For those who don't know, a cinquain is a form of poetry that goes like this:

1 word: a subject
2words: describing/relating to above word
3words: describing/relating to first word
4words: describing/relating to first word
1word: renaming--another word for it

They don't really flow that well, but . . . it's an established form of poetry.

here go mine:

cat
green glances
lightly she meows
silky black, pearly white
Autumn

nintendo
zoned out
fingers go numb
technology blessedly dulls senses
otherworld

friend
likes me
loves to hang
haves fun with me
buddy

I like it!

of course you would! Bud! ;)

I like yours Elizabeth... I can relate to both... 'specially Nintendo, many a summer day wasted away infront of the tiny GBA screen that would be otherwise used to complain about bordom and lack of anything else to do.

caffeine
liquid energy
I will consume
hot coffee, cold soda
addiction


beer
ice cold
smooth going down
college students' best friend
alcohol


love
confusing emotion
causes much pain
without it, why live?
romance

Computers
Flawless devices
Never cause problems
The definition of convenience!
Rubbish!

hahaha, clever

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey neat! I never expected much response! I love all your poetry. Thank you for contributing!

Yes, 'Licia, of course I would!

wcladymacbeth:
first one: that is sooooooooo me
second one: I'm in college but can't relate.
reasons
#1: i'm only 19.
#2. I take meds that I can't have alcohol with.
#3. I wouldn't want to drink anyway. I'm confused enough of the time w/out voluntarily killing brain cells.
third one: only relate in a non-experience I-see-it-from-the-outside sort of way . . .

Sam: I Love It!
So Beautiful . . .
So True . . .
So good at justifying my impulse to axe my pc to sparking smoking shreds . . .

book
rustling sound
away from here
goes on for hours
escape

I made it up just now in fifteen seconds. Hope you like it anyway!

And hey Steph, I know what you mean about 'many a summer day wasted away infront of the tiny GBA screen that would be otherwise used to complain about bordom and lack of anything else to do'. Nintendo & junk food was all my brother and I did the summer after our dad died . . . maybe why we love it so much. We spent most of or all of the time on SNES Zelda . . . and still didn't beat it! It's now 7and a half yrs later, and still haven't! Talk about a hard game . . . though college kind of threw a wrench in the works . . . for both of us
