Autumn Idleness (Cinquain Style)

Posted by

Grey clouds

line the white skies

and drift, languorous.

I stare and think: “How shall I live,

today?”

I'll admit I'd never heard of the "cinquain" form you've written in, although I found it was the perfect form chosen to express the meaning of your poem. I loved how the poem captures your attention with such subtly. The perfect example of this is your final line "How shall I live today?" This thought, though simple, encompasses a far greater meaning, and made me question myself, "how shall I live today?" Really beautifully done.
