Calm pool
Prowling trout lurks
Line whispers graceful arc
Gentle placement of tied aphid
Supper

    So this is cinquain form? I never knew what it was, its something I wouldn't want to take on, but I will that this poem was very enjoyable and quite humorous too if I made add. Not much of a fly fisher, more of a salt water fisher, but you know as you read this poem again its so relaxing.

    I can just picture one man standing in a river bed just casting his line back and forth out. I can also hear the water running and smell that fresh water smell. Ugh now I really want to fish right now thanks!

    But sure do love this poem, now I want to read more of this cinquain form poems, but I know that this one will be one of my top favs. You did an excellent job!

      Thanks for reading and commenting. I really enjoy this form, I went on a rampage one day and came up with four cinquain poems. I'll post the others soon but out of the four this was my favorite. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks again.

    The cinquain is another form that I've found enjoyable, and yours has an unexpected but of humor there at the end. This is a fine example of a cinquain!

      Thank you for reading and commenting. Yes, I really enjoyed how this one came out. By simply stating supper at the end. The reader can automatically imply that the fish was caught without having to say so. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

      Thank you Cynthia for reading and commenting on this write. I've written several more of the cinquin form and found them to be quite adictive. But this was my favorite. Appreciate your comments very much.
