Because
When he smiles my
Insides do a cartwheel
Tumbling off the edge into skin
Shivers

Cartwheel – a cinquain

Messy Rooms and Bike Rides (NaPoWriMo #5)
Messy
Books, bags, slippers,
Sprawled and scattered on floor
Sight unfit for eyes of guests, but
It’s home.

Biking
Breezy, fun
Rolling, gliding, whizzing
Downhill with no pedals
Flight

I remember learning how to write a cinquain in elementary school, but not the kind described on the NaPoWriMo website. So I tried my hand at the original American cinquain and the more ‘juvenile’ didactic cinquain. The first is syllabic, the second counts words; they were fun to think up so I wrote two today.
Thanks for reading,
