  • The Road to 65, Mile 300: Cinquain

    September 23, 2015, Chino Valley- In this third day of my trial run at Mingus Springs, one of my teaching tasks involved breaking down the writing of a cinquain, one of the simpler forms of poetry, so that it was comprehensible to my 21 eight-year-olds.

    It is only fair, therefore, that today’s “Road” entry be a cinquain of my own device.  It  is a reflection on the episode that was the season premiere of “NCIS”.

    Team

    Ever reliable

    Poised and ready

    At a moment’s notice,

    Trustworthy.

    My teams are thus:  Son and siblings, Faith Community, colleagues, students, dedicated friends.

    “I’ve met your team.  How can you say you’re alone?”- Jon Cryer to Mark Harmon, in the above-mentioned episode.  Indeed, and neither am I, really alone.

  • Well done! I always like to see poetry on xanga. Which reminds me I need to do a little poetry again!!

  • I don 't each NCIS (no cable or satellite), but you did well on your poem.

  • @murisopsis: @Crystalinne: Thank you, ladies. Until recently, poetry was outside my comfort zone.
