A very pretty picture, and your poem sums it up beautifully.

Oh, never heard of cinquain before, I'm learning so much from you throughout this month!

And this poem is absolutely perfect for this picture, wow! Brilliant shot of the galaxy, and that last line is pure gold. ♥

Cool! I am glad you are enjoying it. The cinquain was made popular by an American Adelaide Crapsey. Her most famous one (maybe the most famous cinquain period) is called November Nights.

Listen...
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall.

Thank you, thank you!

Never heard of Crapsey before, either, thank you!! November Nights is beautiful, thank you so much for telling me about it. :)
