My snow

December's moon

Beleaguering too soon

the hearth that holds a fiery heat

now cold

A productive exercise. You paint a nice panorama with your cinquain. The format serves as a proper vehicle for eloquent commentary on a heady topic. So impressive your triumph that I sat down and wrote my own first cinquain. Thanks for your inspiring post.

[Einstein Noodle]

Ah! the thrill of Decembers moon and the luster that it brings along. Usually, this week is my favorite of the year with the thanks and the giving but will all the medical procedures that I'm enduring I think that December Moon is going to be more my friend this year. Though I am still giving great thanks in my life and being a part of this and reading poets like you. I have learned a great deal here and love the Reads, Writes, Reviews! Thanks. E!

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you Queenie! your comments makes me feel quite connected with you ... i do hope your medical world will be very kind and your recovery super fast ... and don't most all love the moon ..and for me Decembers moon conjures definite memories and feelings as well as looking to the future moons ;) ... this morning it is not quite full but is very bright and casts shadows ... the crisp air makes the magic even more pronounced ... thank you for your time ... kinda gettin' to know each other ain't we ? :)))

[Patricia Wedel]

dear E... as long as we have Snickerdoodles... and a candle to light...
we can drink hot apple cider and spark.
It was even before our time that lovers would go “Sparking”... As Margie would say “wink wink"

[Patricia Wedel]

[Neville]

Nicely done Sir, and I must say I like this format. I do like the shorter formats that challenge us to speak a volume in so few words. I am duly impressed, but not for the reminder of the chill :)
I might even give it a go myself methinks.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes.... the format is a good one .. i will most likely do more ... i like it for those same reasons Lorry ... its worth giving it a go ... thank you for you kind words ... that remainder of the chill can stay up North as far as i'm concerned ;)))))))))))
