This elephant looks a litlte nervous. (It’s because I am including this caption in my 55 word count!)
Cinquain On Nerves
Sinking
stomach rising
to chest, slinking to loins,
groin, purloined to fight or flight–flight
mainly.
Nerves On Cinquain
Cinquain!
Sing me some peace!
Pacify with puzzling
those wracked synapses that capsize
night heart.

Today has been a day of very stretched nerves, leading me to write these paired cinquains for dVerse Poets Pub Forms For All Prompt on Cinquains. See the great article by A.B. Maude (a/k/a Tony). I also wrote them for the inimitable G-Man. Do not tell him that I had to include the caption of my elephant in order to come up with 55 words.
