My snow

December's moon

Beleaguering too soon

the hearth that holds a fiery heat

now cold

The Winter's day seem to last forever. The warm days of Spring and Summer. Goes so fast. Your words, understandable, heartfelt and strong. Thank you Einstein for sharing the amazing poetry.

The Cafe seems to be on a roll with Cinquains lately, I think ;) must say, I love this one the most. Probably because you mention the moon here :D
Lovely imagery here and certainly doesn't seem (if you hadn't mentioned) like it's the first one you've written ;)

[Einstein Noodle]

Two ways to read this lovely cinquain poem;, maybe the winter of your life or maybe a alove that has lost its warmth and gone cold.
The cinquain is a lovely form to write in, not too short and not too long :)

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks for stopping by Stella ...glad to have met you ..and happy you landed on one of the few form poems i have ;))))

[Sami Khalil]

At least you fire up the imagination in this wonderful, formative poem. There is a subtle message within, too. Kudos Einstein Noodle.

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Sami! i do appreciate your reviewing always ... see you on the flip side ;)
