I thought I'd try my hand at a new poem type that I never heard of, until today. It is called Cinquain. For all you experts out there, please let me know if I have gist of it and what I need to do to make them better.
Wobbly.
Trying so hard.
With a grin on his face.
A baby on an adventure.
First steps.
Talking.
A boy playing.
Growing up way too fast.
Voice is changing, getting deeper.
A man.
Snowflakes
Fall from the sky.
Cold, white and beautiful.
The day breaks and the sun arrives.
Melted.
--
Walking.
Wind blowing hard.
Storm is brewing above.
Trees flying by; going back home.
Sitting.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
