Of Green Houses and Brown Trees

Hi Internet. I have a bad cold / weak flu.

So I'll be doing Cinquain poetry this week on account of it not killing my brain too badly. Cinquains have five lines, and the first is a word, the second is two describing words, line three is action / -ing words, line four is for expressing "feeling", and line five is one word.

It is a Tuesday, late but still Tuesday, and so I turn to the Magpie. (Magpie 52 of a tree in front of a green house: http://magpietales.blogspot.com/2011/02/mag-52.html)



“A Pale Frame”
Window
tall, mirror-like
opening, closing, clicking
smudged by memories touch
Reflections

“To Be, Or Not”
Snow
soft, fluffy
falling, growing, changing
the world made new
Blank

“Funny Meanings”
Buildings
green, wide
sitting, protecting, nurturing
children of old trees
Houses

Nice, I especially like the last... children of old trees, Houses. Nice personification.
