Poetry Thursday: Cinquain

I've written free-form poetry all my life. In my youth, I was very attracted to the 1960s and so I tried to emulate poetry written in that era. Now that I am writing poetry again, I want to explore some of the closed forms. Today I offer you a cinquain inspired by this sight on my front porch:




Shoes

Scarlet, sassy
Strutting, prancing, posing
Much nicer than mine
Jealousy.

I don't know the form, but I love the stance of this poem.

The image is so very clear.

I like the shoes and the short verse.

You brought life into these shoes. I'd love a pair. ;)
