APED – Prompt 15: Fire

15 Monday Jun 2015

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. 🙂

APromptEachDay1

Fire

passion’s

luminous heat

flickers to taunt my breath

 set me ablaze with your special

branding

Lovely folks, this is just to say Hi and let you know that I miss you all each day. So much going on in my life right now and I hope that by the time I’m back I will have good news for you. 🙂 Until then here’s a haiku from my WIP to keep you missing me. 🙂 🙂

all woman, Gratitude, Passion, Poetry

 Done for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Heeding Haiku with HA. This week, we are to analyze everything that we can at this very moment of time and write a haiku or tanka or both to commemorate these few moments of this day of our lives.

All Woman

woman, all woman

unbound by these static  lore,

daring to ascend

2

passionate woman

power of the written word

burning in my soul

3

shamelessly woman

these breasts pulsate with desire

for him of my dreams

my womb tastes sweet agony

of birth pangs, cries all is well.
