The Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of 2,4,6,8,2 syllables....love it! Here's my first attempt....


 

She’s trapped
Within her mind
There’s no escaping
The ravaging brutality
Of time

I could spend all day observing your photograph. Difficult to stand by and watch loved ones slip away into a void...

Be always safe,

I am not familiar with this style of poetry. However it had the correct syllables. And it was very good, IMHO.

GOD BLESS YOU

I think Annabel you have captured a picture very well. Thanks for adding the last item on Dementia. It makes the piece that much more poignant.
Reviewed by Rafika Anderson 9/2/2010
Captivating use of words. But, I have to ask, is it time that is being brutal or is it disease?
