Promise

Here's the cinquain I entered in the challenge for that poetry form.  This poem tied for third place.


Promise

Be still                                  

Hear him whisper

all you desire to know

about what is to come…just that

He’s there.

Cinquain Poetry

The challenge this month was to write a poem in the Cinquain form. I am posting five poems in this form.  I will wait until after the judging before posting the one I submitted.

Here they are:

Children

Children

are delightful

with their sweet innocence,

except, of course, when they are not

your own.

Light 

A lie

exposed to light

will fall apart and fail

but set you free when you embrace

the truth.

Last Service 

Take me

to the church house

and roll me to the front...

lift up the heavy lid and see

I’m gone.

Music

I think

my song might rise

to greater heights and win

fortune and fame if I could sing

on key.

The Truth 

Truth lives

inside a heart

given over to God

but can be quenched by unbelief

and die.
