Cinquain Train

[Perscribo]

As one
card falls face down,
unplayable jokers
break into jigs for the rumbling
full house.

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

Full house–
life long ago
sculpted by tragedies
sanded and smoothed by successes–
small flat

 

[kinokonoronin]

Small flat;
nice neighborhood;
job opportunities;
beautiful, vibrant cityscape;
inquire!

 

[Perscribo]

Inquire;
eyes to the stars
or deep cerulean.
At least once a day the silence
answers.

 

[kinokonoronin]

Answers
flee grasping hands
like butterflies adrift,
unsought upon the still finger
alight.

 

[CDSinex]

A light
mist fills the air.
After sunrise it will
all burn off, joining the clouds in
the sky

 

[oneblindmouse]

The sky
fills with pink clouds
that glide lazily east.
A bird chirps farewell to the light
of day.

 

[Diospyros kaki]

Of day
flowers in pots
and birds in their cages.
Of night with stars on closed curtains.
Earth Day.

 

[kinokonoronin]

Earth, day
of squandered light,
night of blossoming thorns,
we sleep with open eyes and see
the void.
