Cinquain - A Beginning
Adelaide Crapsey
On
October 8, 1914
Adelaide Crapsey the
Inventor of American Cinquain
Passed away
(Jade 10/2014)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because October 8th, 2014 is the anniversary of her death
and the eclipse of the Moon , here is her cinquain entitled:
MOON-SHADOWS
Still as
On windless nights
The moon-cast shadows are,
So still will be my heart when I
Am dead.
~Adelaide Crapsey~ 09/09/1878 – 10/08/1914
October 8, 2014
Lunar eclipse is when the moon appears darkened as
it passes into the earth's shadow. Eerily forboding!
Here is a link to the Poet Foundation and her story. She was published posthumously after her untimely death. The cinquain above was published one year after her death, in 1915.
About this poem:
MOON-SHADOWS was Adelaides cinquain. The cinquain Adelaide Crapsey was written by me. I felt her Moon-Shadows cinquain was almost prophetic for, this the anniversary of her death! My love to all the poets on Connecting Singles!
Thine Way Of Walk
And some drop of persp chick on,Ask stare to for why.
And belief of love grooved strong,Some day to be your side....
But life still not fair to,If did feel same for never do hide.
May each morn bloom you with,Flowers smile to have thou touch....
But never forget to tell same,Am only own right,to greet such.
And walk with just hand in hand,Want to soothe of having care....
But do not leave path lend with,Myself to go without,and where.

This poem is for one who do not feel shame to walk on road,rather have wings to fly....

black's darkest hue,
jet wings aflame with night,
obsidian and ebony,
lit, here.

Silence Molds Clouds All Day
silent shadows
running thru the fields,
Silence
molds clouds
all day
Radiantly
silent moonlight
bouncing thru the moss trees,
Silence
two steps
across the lake
Magically
silent snow flakes
falling like ghosts
Silence
swings low
thru the gate
Mysteriously
silent stones
gather no thoughts,
Silence
gives my
heart away
And
when my heart
is with you
Lord
its shield breaks
oh how it breaks
in the most
tender way.

Saxophones over Johannesburg
clouds in the champagne
let it rain
let it rain
for the regime must change
jazz in the hinterland
grazing in the grass

trumpets from Botswana
Stimela, Stimela
call of the coal train
brought them down
deep down
deep down
in the gold and mineral mines
of the metropoli
About this poem:
Listening to Hugh Masekela's Stimela, one of my favourite jazz compositions, the song is basic enough being just two chords but the trumpet playing is out of this world.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
