This week I thought I would explore another of the formats that Colleen Chesebro has introduced us to. A Butterfly Cinquain
I am really enjoying finding out more about these forms of poetry and it is a great exercise for both mind and syllables. I hope that if you have not participated that you will now.
Anyway here is my attempt at a Butterfly Cinquain… and this weeks prompts were ‘Cold and Storm’ and I have used the synonyms ‘Freezing and Tempest’
Freezing
the wind strips bare
branches of stubborn leaves
and now naked trees stand forlorn
waiting
for magical buds to appear
when the tempest has passed
and sun returns
to warm

Sally, the Butterfly Cinquain is one of my favorite poetry forms. Your cinquain illustrates the passage of winter into spring, telling a descriptive story. Great word choice. I love it! ❤
