A Garland Cinquain
ablaze
gaseous fireball
millions of degrees
gigantic nuclear furnace
brings life
chirp, chirp
streaks of feathers
soar and catch the sunlight
along with insects for their young
alight
lemons
ripe, luscious fruit
vivid citrine gems sway
fleshy, mature, rich, flavorsome
heavy
tree hole
busy beehive
hexagonal pattern
molten syrupy honey drips
teeming
nectar
among petals
marigolds beckon in
softly flutter, blush at breezes
golden
ablaze
streaks of feathers
vivid citrine gems sway
molten syrupy honey drips
golden
#TankaTuesday
The above garland cinquain was written for Colleen M. Chesebro’s ‘Tanka Tuesday’ prompt: Poets were prompted to write syllabic poems inspired by a color of their choice. I chose the color ‘black’.
