Cinquain

Following up on a well appreciated suggestion, I decided to try and write a cinquain. It is a very simple five line poem that can be written a couple of different ways. It is a wonderful form for any beginning poet. As my family and I are currently on vacation, I am only writing when I have down time between activities. By the way, when I say “family”, I mean the whole family including the dog. We are definitely “dog people” which means seeking out a place that also allows for our four legged family member. When we arrived in Rhode Island two days ago, our eight year old schnauzer, Liebchen immediately took over the place. She is a very spunky little girl who definitely lives up to her name. (Liebchen means “sweetheart” in German.) Last year, we traipsed her all over Rhode Island. Today, we will be taking her back to one of our favorite locations, Watch Hill. As you can see from the picture I have posted, she is quite comfortable in her surroundings!
