Christmas

A day of gifts

Extended family

Too much food, noise, stress, and frayed nerves

Much love


Author Notes
The Crapsey Cinquain - a new form for me, I'm not sure I like it, or even if I did it right, but I'm bound and determined to try new things!

Named for Adelaide Crapsey, this form of poetry is Ms. Crapsey???s version of the Cinquain. While a cinquain can be any five-line poem with a set pattern or syllable count, in 1878, Adelaide Crapsey made the cinquain her own. This non-rhyming form of poetry is written in iambic meter, and has a total of 22 syllables. The five lines are arranged in a pattern of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables.
