Cinquain Train

[B.D. Eyeslie]

Keep calm.
Do not panic.
Fear is the enemy.
Exhale, take a deep breath and hold
your nose.

 

[Perscribo]

Your nose
in a real book
draws papyrus flower
memories, sweet olfactory
intake.

 

[allyfaye]

intake,
of a rare breed,
streaming into the air,
ceaseless euphoria takes hold
in me.

 

[Gramps]

In me,
a prisoner walks.
Captive of a cruel mind,
searching the stars for a unique,
something.

 

[CDSinex]

Something
feels different.
The bright sun’s out of place,
but welcomed on this cold morning
journey

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

Journey
to the season
of witches and warlocks
your beliefs will not save you now
Snickers

 

[Gramps]

Snickers
day of the dead
Kit-Kats, Hersey's galore
know now what a dentist is for
enjoy

 

[CDSinex]

Enjoy
the morning cold.
The heat is on, windows
are clean. Fresh snow covers the leaves
‘till spring.

Till spring
we wait and brood,
weaving our fragile plans,
for time will blithely tear apart
our dreams.

 

[CDSinex]

Our dreams
come easy now
that winter’s here early.
Every book tells tales of warmer
places

[oneblindmouse]

Places
that fed our souls
when we were fresh young fools
are still alive as memories
we share.

 

[CDSinex]

We share
the quiet time.
With little left to say
we bury our faces and thoughts
in books.

 

[oneblindmouse]

In books
we live a life
denied us in the world.
Adventure, glory or romance.
Our choice.

 

[Gramps]

Our choice
lies in desire
the heart is our master.
We follow it freely shackled,
content.
