For my 5th Poem of #NaPoWriMo / #NaPoGenMo 2026 , "SkyThoughts" coded in #HydraVideoSynth and takes the form of a Cinquain (Any Poem with five lines).

#Poetry
The thoughts of the Sky
The Specs that gather in our mind
When we look up with our eyes
To the light and their rise
To the brightness and the size

Caveat: Poem #3524 "Scudding eastward"

#Poetry #Cinquain


The sun
came out, a bit,
illuminated things,
then went back behind the grey clouds.
Weather.

- a pseudo-haiku.

some days
you just don't care
while other days, you do

just is

Caveat: Poem #3509 "Spin your wheels"

#Poetry #Cinquain


Slush day.
Like a snow day:
heavy rain on deep snow
makes local roads impassable.
Stay home.

- a cinquain. Our neighbor with his big giant truck got stuck in the entrance of our shared driveway and had to use a winch to escape. I decided I didn't feel like doing that.

Caveat: Poem #3508 "Totem"

#Poetry #Cinquain


Eagle.
Up in the tree.
Supervising traffic.
Thinking deeply about her lunch.
Quiet.

- a cinquain.

Caveat: Poem #3506 "Fluff-n-slush"

More snow.
Vast bucketfulls.
On trees and roads and rocks.
It will melt soon, this time of year.
Springtime!

- a cinquain.

Caveat: Poem #3491 "The snowmen's domain"

#Poetry #Cinquain


wet snow
piled all around
and loading down the trees
making huffling sounds as it slides
wa-hoomp.

- a cinquain.

Caveat: Poem #3486 "Stepping back from the brink of meaningful composition"

#Poetry #Cinquain


Some days
inspiration
fails to come visit me -
I'll write down some lines, then, a bit...
meta.

- a cinquain.

do I
despise them so?
The men who have hoarded
our collective national wealth?
I do

Well, I guess I have to post this one again...

the sole
opposition
is a rusted machine
seized up and refusing any
repair
