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”.

Trustworthy.

“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.
