writing MM's Cinquain and Haiku Collection

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

These are all short poems, so I thought I'd post them together. also, most of my poetry that I've posted here has had  similar structure, so I wanted to add a little variety.

 

 

Learn about cinquain's here.

Learn about haiku's here.

 

Cinquains:

 

"Winter"

Silent
I gaze out at
The falling snow and rain
Beyond the frosty windowpane.
Winter.

 

"Spring"

Serene,
The earth is green
As plants begin to sprout
While small creatures scurry about.
Springtime.

 

"Summer" (Yes, the last line is a reference to Phineas and Ferb)

"School's out!"
The children shout
And run around and play
It's time for us to seize the day.
Summer.

 

"Autumn"

Now all
Leaves gently fall,
The air fills with a chill
And all the schools begin to fill.
Autumn.

 

"Love"

Love burns
Like a wildfire
Consuming lovers' hearts.
Know beauty as great as the finest art
And love.

 

"A Crash"

A crash
Scent of sulfur
The smell of gasoline
The sight of glass mixed with my red blood
I scream

 

"Love II"

Your breathe,
Your soft heartbeat,
Your skin's sweet, gentle warmth,
Your lips, which taste of cinnamon,
Are love.

 

"Night II"

The dark,
Enchanting world;
Then soft whispering grass,
The crisp Autumn night air, surrounds
My soul.

 

"Luna II"

Eerie
White glow above,
Sphere of the dark divine,
Fills my cold heart with chilly joy.
Luna.

 

Haikus:

 

"Feline Unfriendliness"

A silly creature
Hiss one moment, purr the next
My cat confounds me

 

"At Least it's not a Trochee" (I wrote this after writing a couple Shakespearean sonnets  )

Kudos to Shakespeare.

Iambic Pentameter

Is quite difficult.

 

"Meowsomnia"

My cat meows loudly
Now, that's a catastrophe!
He keeps me awake.

 

Comments are appreciated.   I may add more of these shorter poems to this thread in the future, rather than making an entirely new one.

I love these little Haikus and Cinquains that you've written. To be honest I've never written a Haiku and Cinquain myself. I tend to just stick to basic poetry. Maybe it's time I expanded myself a little and start making things like this too.

Thanks! I usually don't write these much either. I prefer free verse, but traditional forms like these are good from time to time. Many of these poems were actually from when my creative writing class in my senior year of high school was studying cinquains so I had to write that way. Still, they can be fun

wow so many new poems I know this doesn't belong here but that horror poem kinda scared the hell out of me probably because I'm reading it at 2:40 AM Anyway, I didn't go to comment on every poem because then i'd have to talk about something stupid just to fill the 100 characters in each one...oh wait...I'm doing that right now aren't I? xD 

Anyway, AMAZING job (as always) and I'm gonna follow this topic if you're gonna post more

I've added a bunch of new poems and color-coded them all in red. I may write more in the future and assign them to a different color.

Here' s one of my favorites that I forgot. I hope you like it.

 

"Hope"

I know
Life's a mindset
I see as I let go
Sadness is but joy at sunset
Aglow.

I found my oldest poem notebook lately, and I found this haiku about my dog who passed away around that same time. I figured I'd add it here.

 

 "Boomer II"

 

A loyal Canine
Protective, loving, and proud.
Shan't be forgotten.
