tyranny

tyranny

it’s a masquerade
their vile deluge of pretense,
their temerity
is but a drizzling ruse
a tempest, shrouded in guile

raining down on us,
deliquescent victims, we
are dying of thirst

even if the time is short

Cinquain Part 2

By Kat Myrman

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!
