We had a winter storm. ALL the birds came to eat. This particular observance filled me with delight! I wrote a Crapsey Cinquain.*
Bird Feeder Action
red bird
she-cardinal
drove second mama out
mamas returned, mates in tow
standoff
*The Crapsey Cinquain is a five-line, non-rhyming poem featuring a syllable structure of 2-4-6-8-2. Choose words that create drama that builds into the fourth line. The turn occurs on line five, the most important line. This is where you change your focus away from the drama in some interesting way. Needs a title.
