Reaching further

Child
Beautiful, gangly
Hanging, laughing, falling
Determined to master the monkey bars
Adventurist.

~~~

I was inspired by a new style of poetry that I was recently introduced to. This is my interpretation of a Cinquain poem. My little monkeys were inspired by a climber in a friend's back yard. Climb higher, reach farther, dream further my little ones...

  2. Thanks Brian. They were pretty adventuresome tonight pushing the bounds of what they could or couldn't do, but I love the spirit of determination.

  3. I will admit: I've never heard of a cinquain before.

    But this is beautiful, in meaning and form. I must investigate!
