motion ~ static ~ pause: a cinquain inspired poem

 
motion
moving about
spinning whirling blur
nauseating heady thrill
motion

static
picture sound
crackling buzzing growl 
empty lost haunted overcome
noise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pause
frozen life
loud silent nothing
interrupted cautious alert stuck
pause

idyllic sublime tranquil peace

“Cinquain: This is another unique type of poetry style. As the name suggests, it is made up of five lines. The first line is just one word, which is often the title of the poem. The second line has two words which describe the first line. The third line has three words, and is mostly the action part of the poem. The fourth line is four words describing the feelings. And the fifth line, again, has just one word which is the title of the poem.”

broken~separated~alone: cinquain Toni L.A. Cross 1/12/10

broken
completely fractured
violently ripped asunder
bitterly consumed with pain
broken

separated
goodbye forever
cut pulled torn
like marrow from bone
separated

alone
left without
watching dust settle
beautiful misery snuggles in
alone
