Tears
salty, wet
forming, swelling, releasing
bad decorum, good humanity
Earth-bound

Love
fools, treasure
heart wrenching pleasure
that which is priceless
pain

Cinquain (Hunting)

Hunting;
Killing emotions,
Wanting some sacrifices,
Polluting hearts with judgement.
Incomprehensible!

New Day (Cinquain Poem)

New day,
same old problems,
not knowing what to do.
Just wishing everything would go
away.

Twelve Noon (Cinquain Poem)

Twelve noon
(medicine time):
Praying that with this dose
every burden I have inside
will go.

train of thoughts (cinquain)

Choking
And sputtering
On a wrangled wreckage
Of my long, lasting train of thoughts
Tangled

Your son
decides to quit
med school to be a poet;
you're thrilled he's turned to healing
souls.

How I Feel (Cinquain Poem)

Satan,
You make me sick.
At least, that's how I feel.
If you think that I'm worthless, think
again!

that which remains [cinquain]

clean snow
white wash the fields
magic powder gleams soft
gentle touch caress silent earth
all gone

rain drop
serene beauty
born of fierce, angry storm
glides, embracing hills tenderly
all gone

bright light
touch dark corners
spills forth golden nectar
conceal shades of opaque nature
all gone

sad end
snow, rain, light, goes
clean, serene, brightness, goes
but thread of the intangible
remains

The intangible. Call it truth, atoms, God, reality....it's all that remains.

Cinquain II

Look up -
The blue of sky
Can stretch a question out,
Unravelled hugely there, held up
In air.

A Few Haikus, A Diamante, and A Couple Cinquains

Blue infinity
Beautiful serenity
Breaking enmity
~
Food hopes crumbling
Stomach empty, grumbling
Taco bound stumbling
~
Smart
Polite, Educated
Enlightening, Enriching, Enthralling
Teachers, Students, Idiots, Parasites
Disgusting, Debilitating, Degrading
Disrespectful, Obnoxious
Stupid
~
Rap
Poetic, Spoken
Rhyming, Entertaining, Battling
Real rap takes skill
Hip Hop

Cinquain
Unskilled, Foolish
Annoying, Boring, Defaming
Cinquains wish they were poetry
Joke

Cinquain

I pray
everyday; I'm
still not quite sure to whom.
The Father and Son aren't really
my type.

It took
eighteen years to
see God as a woman;
The most welcome sort of Holy
Relief.

The Ancestors (a cinquain poem)

Fuel me
With rich stories
While I execute dreams
Unrealized and extinguished
“Ignite!”

This poem is dedicated to my ancestors. May they rest in power

I Live (Cinquain Poem)

I live
for the people,
a microphone in hand,
singing that one song people come
to hear.

Cinquain #1

Ponder:
How founts evoke
some kid 'neath weight of wishing
our masks feign smiles as players strut...
And scene.

Night falls
in parking lot
emptied of cars, crisp air
and not a pathogen in sight
Breathe out

You Tried (Cinquain Poem)

You tried
to convince me
that life's not worth living.
You tried everything you could, but
you failed.

My Cinquain

I know
Words are art
So I will say what I feel,
I will speak my mind for now and
Always.

Perception-Cinquain

Perceptions
Sometimes askew
As seen through filtered lens
And a cargo of emotions
Disguised

Cinquain #2

A bulb
withstands the stream
flooding muddy pasture
no silt will be its tomb this morn.
(It's home.)

Untitled cinquain

Youth.
Hopeful, Rebellious.
Learning through scars.
Reaching out for more.
Knowing.

Love.
Biting, Bleeding.
Chains going loose.
Spiraling into the Unknown.
Lust.

Anger.
Deafening, Blinding.
Moral supports buckling.
Weakness, clenched in fists.
Regret.

Remorse.
Crippling, Stagnant.
Sinking into despair.
Quietly clawing at Nothing.
Apathy.

Rome

brilliant light ceded,

Cinquain poems

Chicken
The chicken
Laid eggs one week
She didn't wanted to laid more
The chicken was very tired they forced her
She needed to laid more eggs and then she made.

Search...
It's time to castle?
Don't lose direction!
Just keep buzzing and sting

I Wait (Cinquain Poem)

I wait
for tomorrow,
and as I do, I hope
and pray that everything turns out
all right.

Coming

Struggling through a Confusing Dimension

The light draws near

Dreams become reality

With the feeling of excitement and victory

Hurt (Cinquain Poem)

I'm hurt.
Admitting that
is hard, especially
when I wish to be on top of
the world.
