APED – Prompt 15: Fire

Cinquain, Fire, Passion, romance

Done for A Prompt Each Day, a daily dose of inspiration. The prompt is Fire. My poem is another try at the Cinquain.

First line: a one-word subject or title.
Second line: two adjectives which describe the subject.
Third line: three verbs relating to the subject.
Fourth line: four words forming a phrase, sentence, or set of feelings relating to the subject.
Fifth line: one word which summarizes the poem.

The second and more traditional type is simpler and requires only that the pattern of syllables per line in the poem is 2, 4, 6, 8, 2. I combined both rules. 🙂

Fire

passion’s

luminous heat

flickers to taunt my breath

 set me ablaze with your special

branding

Done for Haiku Horizons.

Secret

just a touch from you

carries me to that summit

of secret desires

unfolding secrets

petals surrender it all

a morning perfume
