The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count.

line 1 - 2 syllables
line 2 - 4 syllables
line 3 - 6 syllables
line 4 - 8 syllables
line 5 - 2 syllables

in this game, take the last line of the previous persons cinquain, the same way we play the shared Haiku game.

I'll start:

Darling
Heart of my heart
No words you speak but yet
You share the beauty of love
With me

Now the next person starts with, "With me"

with me,
evil and death,
my eternal shadows,
destruction follows, where I tread,
my peace...

my peace
is the only time
the only time i get free
no whispers, no voices, no shouts and noises
my silence

my silence,
thats three, not two,
breaking your own rules eh?
I guess we all need to break free,
no harm...

No harm
no wrong, did non
recount please, I'm right, you're wrong
only right is the truth you have said,
need freedom...



[I know im not that great, I try... I don't do poetry that often]

need freedom,
again I say,
three syllables,
meant to be two hunny,
start with two, end with two, ya know
I win...

I win
because I've learned
syllable is a sound
not a word as whole that i thought
happy?

happy?
me? no, never,
my desires remain,
unfulfilled and unquenchable,
you see...

You see?
This pointless talk
pointing out some mistakes
detracts from the pleasure of the
poem

Poem
This ain't pointless
The work lies within you
Your the one who makes the pleasure
so start...

So start
This is for you
the new year has come
fullfilling your dreams and wishes
new start...

poem?
is that your view?
illusions at all ends,
just mere entertainment to me,
you see?

You see,
life is meaningless...
It is dark and hollow,
sometimes I can not find myself...
Helpless...

helpless,
cry to your lord,
does he dare to face me?
all that is trembles in fear,
of me...

of me,
i reckon that,
i fear no power at all,
except the one that gives life and,
takes away...

(i suck )

takes away.
all of my pain...
the pain I keep with me,
those dark one's no one know's about...
his love...

His love
a helping hand,
painkilling novocaine,
I cherish it but like today,
it rains,

It rains,
washing my hopes...
Hope is somewhere behind,
along the path it is dripping,
away...

away,
with the suns light,
i prefer the darkness,
the migraine is paralyzing,
my cure...

my cure,
disease to you,
what is beauty to me,
is what you know as suffering,
just know...

Just know,
I cant be there,
I cant keep up with you,
We fight to hang on as we spin,
Let go...

let go,
you have no clue,
speak of what ye not know,
your ignorance will be your fall,
you'll see...

You'll see,
A place so dark,
The light is killed away,
Some stalkers watch me with intent,
Save me...

"save me"
their final cry,
before I destroy them,
tearing their soul from their body,
cry on...

Cry on,
Evil b*astards,
Cry on the demonic,
Thou must be killed, by destiny,
Murder them...

murder them,
thats three not two,
but we all make mistakes,
only perfect one here is me,
no doubt...

no doubt
dead reflections
feeding on food for souls
icy hot veins, battle hardened
blooming

blooming,
but do I change?
same old heart full of pain,
same uncontrollable hatred,
same me...

Same me
that crying came
into this world of pain
the circle closes at the end
of life.

Of life,
we celebrate...
Our love do we create,
for the new born, we celebrate...
Welcome

Welcome.
The time has come.
We will not hesitate...
but we will engage most swiftly.
Goodbye...

goodbye,
one day I'll say,
when death knocks at my door,
taken away from this cruel world,
ever...

Ever
Ever wondered
how life could have turned out
if one was no fool and just brave
to save

to save,
nothing to save,
all shall perish one day,
forgotten as time goes on by,
no mercy...

no mercy
to those unloved
to those on the cold streets
we don't show mercy, because of
"higness"

"highness"
no such thing is,
poor or rich, old or young,
I favour none, all shall perish,
take heed...

take heed
I'm back again
so you better watch out
Back with mysterious action
beware

beware
angry looking
herd of wasps flying in
such unusual circumstances
take care

take care,
I care for none,
nothing lost, nothing won,
you take care from me, deeds undone,
so run...

so run
fast as Forrest
through the fear of others
as brave as Forrest could ever be
faster!

[Forrest Gump ]

faster,
oh time, slow down,
let me bathe in this warmth,
touches of my love, sweet kisses,
leave me...

Leave me...
I want my life,
Did you take it away?
Art thou there now drooling hound?
End It...

(I still suck )

End It...
Sort it out now
blinding the inevitable
leads nowhere, perspective of
change works

change works,
will you change me?
for I cannot change me,
though I yearn to be free from 'it',
help me...

Help me...
I cant love now,
Save me from inner hell,
I need the freedom of poison,
Find Death...

find death,
I am here,
fool, death does not play games,
bow down and accept your demise,
last breath...

Last breath...
It wont escape...
I have to breathe again...
Like trying to drown in a furnace...
Demons...

Find Death
Reaper of souls
Hidden in the blackness
Unforgiving truth never told
Sadness

Sadness
cruel harmony
infinite labyrinth
rushing hordes inexhaustible
stampede

stampede,
oblivion,
run or hide, I will come,
more pleasure for me to reap you,
sick joy...
