Whispers of wonder, beyond shadows, fall

Prismatic glow adorns the darkened trees

Lost to the wind, among mountains tall

Here is my heart, standing strong and free

Basking in the light, of the afternoon sun

I feel the warmth on my face, and it’s grand

How perfectly aligned I am, but not yet done

I still have much more I must understand

Flowers in the distance, seem to call my name

Across the lush green grasses, I wander closer

As I walk this sacred land, my soul is mine to claim

To this symphony, I am, my own composer

The forest sings to me, I’m as calm as I can be

Far beyond the realm of my command

Mr. and Mrs. Peep, donned in their best Sunday duds
Were ready for the annual Easter parade, down Main
Mr. Peep in his tuxedo, Mrs. Peep in a purple bonnet
Often found the other chicks dressed quite mundane

Trying to make a statement, the Peeps went to town
Waving to the folks, and flashing smiles, for all to see
But, no one was paying attention, everyone did ignore
“We’re the best dressed!” cried Mrs. “How can this be”

The town had done away with this yearly competition
They more concerned with everyone being friendly
It seems they had had enough, of the Peep’s traditions
No one seemed to care, if the Peeps were even trendy

This Cinquain might be disturbing to some, and I apologize for that. But no one can justify taking the life of a child, or any human being, under any condition…

Senseless

The ways of war

Ravaging innocence

Inexplicable brazenness

Murder

Sneaking up behind her, just as quietly as could be

Some gremlins come a ‘calling, for those cookies

They don’t want to scare her, so, patiently, they wait

Perhaps, she’ll notice them, or else it be too late

These little guys are hungry, she’s an impediment

Sweets are all they need, for a little nourishment

They have to grab the box, then safely get away

Hoping she won’t chase them, they don’t want to play

Still, she doesn’t see them, the closer they become

Almost there, not too much more, to steal a cookie crumb

No, they say, they want it all, of this they have no doubt

And so this ends the tale, of the gremlins and Girl Scout

Whose idea was it, to make us dress like this?

Faces masked, thank goodness, so no one knows
Who the silly people are, hiding in these clothes

Bells strapped around us, we jingle all the way
This is so ridiculous, it’s not even Christmas Day

Someone made the suggestion, to be different
We weren’t counting on it, being this significant

Apparently, it’s tradition, to look like big blue trees
Oh dear Lord, hopefully, no one has to sneeze!

Imagine what would happen, if that does occur
Our costumes would go flying, in a big blue blur

I would hear bells ringing, but they’re only in my ears
People clapping on the side, wait! Listen to the cheers!

They think we planned it, but they should only know
How hard it really is to walk, with jingle bells in tow

Oh fine, I’ll play along, since everyone is smiling
Wave to the crowd, laugh out loud, just look at us

We’re stylin’!
