Hello adewpearl, Brooke,
Wow, a timely and profound Cinquain you've penned on this most Holy day ... of note:
Before
resurrection --
came death.
(So much of life is like this in so many other ways - good analogy.)
Thank you for sharing. Regards, LateBloomer

Amy, thanks so much for your thoughtful review of this cinquain :-) Yes, it is customary in this form that the title add something of significance, not just repeat words or lines from the poem. Brooke

I need a permanent six star for your work, it always seem so flawless. I would love to give a book of your work to the ones I love. Do you have a collection in print? Thanks again, Brooke, for the education and extraordinary verse. Have a wonderful Easter.

Comment from Harlequin
An interesting approach to a Christian 'celebration' done in a challenging form. :) As a fellow Christian I liked your theme and salute you for being able to summarize everything so well with only a few words. :)
Thanks for sharing, :)

This is such a powerful message in so few words. It is an ideal for this special occasion. I cannot comment on the form as I have no experience here. Your Cinquain is as you advertise in you author's notes.
A strong message.

Comment from NaughtieScribe
This work hit me square in the chest. The last line was both potent and hopeful. Getting such emotional impact out of so few words is not easy. Yet you managed it with true expertise. Obviously I found nothing to adjust or correct. Once again your work haunts me. Well done.

Comment from Matoshka
How very deeply reflective your words are. Yes, death did have to come first, so we would have a chance at life. He gave it all. I loved your message. God Bless you Brooke and Happy Easter.

This is both stark and inspirational Brooke. Above all it is a poem of faith.
This is superb use of the cinquain form. I admire your use of punctuation as an integral part of the write.
It is cleverly composed so that the final lines lose the sting of finality because of the placement of "Before" and "first" - the qualifiers that transform the ultimate sacrifice into the ultimate glory.
Fine end-rhyme with "breath" and "death" - opposites yet linked.
Dear Brooke, this is a work of astounding talent. Thank you so much for sharing on this day when Christians bring to mind in awe and reverence the sacrifice of Christ.
I'm not allowed to give you another six just yet. Such a pity.
