I’d like to challenge any person who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!

This past weekend my husband and I did exactly that, plus we were bored. He taught me something I didn’t know anything about – the strings on the guitar – and I taught him what I knew about cinquains. Fellow poets know there are lots of different types with varied rules so I just laid out the rules to him of what I generally follow. And here’s what he came up with. Not so bad, first time out of the gate! 🙂

Backlash

Just stop
Why can’t you see
I am already damaged

I am hurt
The fuse is ignited
Too late
There is no escaping
The blast

You can wrap me
In your arms
Keep the pieces
In place
Or hide
Behind your indifference
Hope the shards
Don’t slash you

I am done
It is over
I pick up the shrapnel
Now go
Lick your wounds

One of the most creative people I know, and love!

You ask for my Darkness

That which devours my soul

But do you have the strength to bare

What hides in this Cold

Layers

Upon Layers

Of lies that I’ve told

Protecting the truth of what

Feeds here and grows

Would you thrust your own light

Into the Void that is mine

Or try to Retreat

From the Secrets you find

And what if

You become

The Haunted One

Your own light dimmed down by

My monstrous one

What if the Whispers from

My darkest part

Are as knives that pierce through

Your beating heart

Words into Weapons

To rip you apart

You ask for my Darkness yet

The cost is severe

You must give up your Light

To See

What lurks here
