Darkness Looms

Comment from Kazzawin
An imaginative cinquain, full of the dark gloomy aspects of wintry days.
In the U.K. we are used to drizzly, miserable days in the winter...but spend our time hoping to see some snow!
I enjoyed the story in this, like the artwork and the dark shade of your background which suits your poem well, the syllable count is correct.
Good luck in the contest : )

You created quite a dark, sinister, threatening atmosphere in very few words, well done. I like the word 'looming'. MaggieF

Keep pluggin' and chuggin' away at those contests, Magic Dragon.
God knows I sure do, and have for the past four years here.
I mean, hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually... am I right? (I say that in reference to my own work, and not yours in any way, shape, or form).
As I understand them, cinquain poems are written using a pattern. "Cinq" [pronounced SINK] is French for the number 5.
This type of poem only has five lines.
Each line follows a specific pattern.
There are many ways to write this type of poetry. The traditional cinquain, as developed by Adelaide Crapsey, has five lines and a strict structure based on syllable count:
Line 1: Two syllables
Line 2: Four syllables
Line 3: Six syllables
Line 4: Eight syllables
Line 5: Two syllables

Thank you for sharing. I see you have a bit of alliteration with "winter" and "wanting" and some rhyming with "rushing," "wanting," "keeping," and "looming." I also see you have entered this poem in the Cinquain Poetry Contest. Good luck with your contest entry!

Comment from Cmelton
Very nice picture, it sets the mood right from the beginning. I liked the message you have and how you end the poem is especially nice. I liked how you fit a lot in such a small space. I wish you luck in the contest as well.
