Well… It’s my birthday month and I feel like I’m not getting enough free food from the restaurants I enjoy. Ah well, after 45 it also seems like eating too much takes a greater toll on the body. This is the reality, life is pretty good, but it’s also a sometimes gentle, downhill slope from here.

Cinquains are five line poems that take various characteristics based on the whims of the poet. Today, I give you a syllable count cinquain and a word count cinquain connected by a theme (sorta).

Enjoy:

words and wishes

Dying
To live fully,
Chasing more than money...
Searching for meaning in chaos.
This life.

Life
Goes on…
In the event of
My too untimely death…
Persist
