Cinquain 13/30 #npm23

This poem took a turn. It began with the intention to play along with Laura Purdie Salas’s Digging for Poetry Project. And then it decided to become a cinquain and play with a quotation from Clint Smith that LeighAnne shared a few days ago. You never know where a poem might lead.

under
skeleton moon
lone wolf watches, listens
silent poet, attentive to
his world

    Wow, this is a stunning poem, Elisabeth. And I’d say that even if my post had nothing to do with any step along the way in its creation :>) The skeleton moon, the silent poet–this is like a movie scene 13 words!

    I love the idea of the wolf being a “silent poet”. What a gorgeous application of Clint Smith’s quote.
