A Cinquain for Sybil …

Blog 155 – A Cinquain for Sybil by Ms Paige Turner
Here is a cinquain:

Sybil,
Bold, poetic.
Loving, writing, thinking …
Of you, dear friend
Sybil.

The first line is a name.
The second line is two adjectives describing the first line.
The third line is three verbs ending in ‘ing’
The fourth line is a sentence of four words or more. (My fourth line is not a complete sentence but I cheat.)
The fifth line is one word.

That’s the technique. Here’s the emotion. Sybil has had a stroke. I have been enriched by knowing this wonderful woman. Like Shakespeare, I would be diminished by the not knowing of this person. I can’t wait to see her on my next trip to Cape Town.
Creative Ink Tuesday ‘Get Inspired’ classes are back on their new term with a waiting list and an all consuming theme of ‘Food’. The ‘Get that Book Out of You’ arrangement has some spaces. Email me if interested.
