She dances
With the winds
Like a ballerina of nature
Blushing
As the leaves follow suit
Effortlessly
She stands
On a pedestal
Proud
Of her earthly roots
Magnolia
Sweetest blossom
She shines
An everlasting glow
Such beauty
She places upon us
Tis enchantment
She does bestow

I watch him row, against fiery light
Just a silhouette, of a man, in a boat
Moving his paddles, left and right
On the calm river waters, he floats
I wonder, has he a care in the world
Or is he trying to escape, from the past
The fronds about him blow, unfurled
Still, he remains this silent outcast
Each night, it’s the very same thing
He rows by, while the sun starts to set
Sometimes, I think I hear him sing
But most likely, it’s the wind’s quartet
Rustling through the broken air
Creating just enough sound to be heard
Unlike the man in the boat, unaware
My curiosity of him, he has stirred

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
