Hello, DD. This is a very good entry for the CinQuain prompt. Your no-nonsense approach portrays someone who wants to gain control of their life. Well done and good luck.

    Thank you Melissa for taking the time to review my cinquain poem. Life is but fleeting so putting up with what leaves us unhappy should not be an acceptable option. Blessings ~DD

This is an interesting idea in cinquain form. Beyond every goodbye lies the next hello is the theme of this. In this case though there is that little phrase 'self-embraced' that puts a slightly different slant on things for next time.

This is a very good poem. Sometimes we have to find ourselves before we can find anyone else. I like the positive message of your Cinquain and wish you luck in the contest. Marilyn

So well said, DD. It may be a toxic relationship or it could be something inanimate that is taking life away from us. Sometimes, it's best to say goodbye and embrace life!

Hi DD,

This is a lovely poem that invokes (evokes?) memories of my youth. It's hard to say goodbye not knowing if good things are out there. I'm a believer now. Things got better for me. I didn't think so at the time. This is a terrific contest entry.

    Joy, thank you so much for your encouraging review of my cinquain poem and for understanding it. I do think one has to experience a break up in order to know what is important in a relationship that is strong and lasting. Know thy self first. Warmest regards ~DD

Quite a poem. Says a lot in so few words; almost like a miniature story, if one reads between the lines. I like how you started out with good-bye and end up with hello. It flows well together and I wish you the best in the contest with this entry!

Hello :)
This is a great entry for the contest.
The positive side of breaking up. We don't see this perspective often enough.
Well presented and in perfect syllable count, I wish you the best of luck for the contest.
Kindest regards, Debra :)

I enjoyed your cinquain contest entry, DD. Good job on its style. Your few syllables, as required, speak loudly about one taking back what is theirs after a breakup of marriage. Good job and best wishes. Jan

    Thank you Jan - for taking the time to review my cinquain poem. Yes, severing a chord that no longer brings us nourishment is all part of life. ~DD

    Thank you Irish Rain. Always, I appreciate your supportive comments. Yes, one has to cut the chord when the soul becomes lost in the fray, in order to find themselves again. Hugs ~DD

A warm write and I'm glad you said goodbye first and yellow second as it gives your write positivity, although this is 'uncoupling,' it also has a fresh start! Love Dolly x
