Cinquain Part 2

My brain was apparently scattered when I penned my cinquains for Jane Dougherty’s challenge this week. I completely overlooked the prompt words! We were instructed to use at least one of the following: Fly, lightning, verdant, unfurl, softly.

To make up for this oversight I decided to use all five. (All in fun of course and for the love of poetry…) But Jane, I did sweat a few drops of blood over this one! 🙂

P.S. Do I get extra credit? Heehee…kidding of course! 😉

Peace out and have a great weekend peeps!

Raptor
wings unfurled
Flies the verdant landscape
Swoops like lightning, softly landing…
Nesting

Nesting – A Monotetra

By Kat Myrman

Paper scraps, moss and bits of twine
Feathers, leaves, wisteria vines
A compost cup of mud and slime
Where nestlings dine, where nestlings dine.

Bumper pads, diapers, teddy bears
Bassinets, booties, rocking chairs
Gathered in wait for future heirs
A mom prepares, a mom prepares.

Books, newspapers and magazines
Pizza boxes from floor to beams
Collectibles to the extreme
A hoarder’s dream, a hoarder’s dream.

Tattered blankets and cardboard bed
collected things others have shed
A duffle bag to rest one’s head
a homeless-stead, a homeless-stead.

A bit of twine, a cardboard base
Bassinets, booties, books to case
We all build nests to feel safe
We need our space, we need our space.
