Life & Death in a Cinquain

Cinquain is a five-line poem that was invented by Adelaide Crapsey. She was an American poet who took her inspiration from Japanese haiku and tanka. While I have heard of the phrase before, I never attempted in creating one. Week 10 of The Fifty- Two weeks of 2013 saw me racking my brains over a decent cinquain. And after mulling over many topics , I decided to go a little philosophical. Here's my take on life and death in a Cinquain form---

Life

Animated,Sprightly

Being,loving,living

A roller coaster ride

Beautiful

--------------------------------------------------

Death

the end

of life,  but

let it not alarm

You
