Nothing -
that’s subtracted
from nothing makes ~ One thing.
A big circle that’s unbroken
Spinning …

caution: spinning in nothingness can cause everythingness

Nothing is really nothing indeed. Always something there we can see, when we want to.
Well thought cinquain about nothing being all!

I always thought something about nothing being nothing must be something...only because though you cant touch nothing without feeling nothing...still it must be something because we call it nothing LOL...
even this is something about nothing... cinquain--

There's food for thought here that leaves my head like your poem, spinning.
It's almost as bad as the maths problem something divided by nothing equals everything!!

A view on zero could be nihilistic, but since you are a poet, it is not. This is a lovely idea, and a nice cinquain - reminds me of the spiritual song "may the circle be unbroken."
Best of luck!

totally spun out...
a nothing cinquain that speaks in volumes... well done & a 'joy' to behold...

I'm hearing that old Billy Preston song lyrics, "You can't get nothing from nothing, you gotta have something if you want to be with me." Something like that.
Nothing is something, even if it is a big unbroken circle spinning. What makes me think this is a reaction to a personal experience?
Spinning as in tires, or as in, the world going 'round? One is negative, the other could be positive.
Intriguing...waiting for the key.

It seems to me that the faster my wheels spin the slower I go these days. Perhaps I should shift gears huh? Good luck in the contest.
Sincerely,
Leo Long
