You wouldn't even know there was a mistake, very beautiful!
Cathy and John - I confess I used this form (cinquain) as a teaching device for grammar. It's been years since I wrote my own. So I messed up lines 1 in each case (Should read MADNESS and POETRY, respectively). I am grateful for your encouraging words and visits. Thanks and Shalom
Great writing.
Terrific work here! Have a super day! :)
