Treasure
chest filled with hope
precious beyond compare,
for where my heart is, there is my
treasure.
Author notes
Thank you for the opportunity to learn a new form of poetry!
This is option 7/8 - a treasure chest filled with jewels and coins.
Based on Matthew 6:19-21 - KJV
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Very nice
Very nice job. That passage is one of my favorites and you did it justice with this beautiful Cinquain. I am impressed. You are becoming one of my favorite writers on here! -
I love cinquain...but I have never created a spiritual one. I am so impressed with this because you have driven it from such a wonderful verse...and very important one at that. It is true...we shall not obtain and store earhtly treasures, but to lay them up in Heaven..for it is God's precious instruction.
I have learned to live by this principle of God and found so much more reward within this...than any material thing could ever bring.

Awesome job! so many people think that it's what they own not what they feel and love that fills them up. by this poem i can tell you cherish what God has given to you.

Short, yes, but not a bad thing, in this case. It has an awesome message, and it's very true. All in all, great job with this.

Only five lines, but a very powerful five lines! I like the picture with the poem, and the fact that you have quoted the scripture you based this poem on in your comments. I don't know much about cinquains, but they are very interesting. Good luck to you in the contest and thank for sharing these thoughts!
