With only one remaining day in the 28 Days of Unreason, this was one of the most difficult prompts for me to write from; there are many crumpled pages scattered round my feet. It worked best when I limited myself to the short form of Cinquain. Songs of Unreason has been a great source for these writing prompts. Here is today’s Harrison quote and my Cinquain in response:
“It is life’s work to recognize the mystery of the obvious”
~ Jim Harrison
CINQUAIN FOR MY LOVE
you are
obviously mine
yet wholly yours unknown
to no one but yourself as I
am so

This prompt turned me inside-out… You have addressed the obvious mystery and the mysterious obviousness (is that a word? Must be; spellcheck allowed it!). The voice assures me that she has done the surveying, and this is the lay of it. Like the haiku, your cinquain allows much content to happen a with, few well-chosen words.

That poem has been crafted. Each word fits into place as if you’ve carved it out specially. Very good 🙂

Gasp – read once – too close to home at the moment. Forgive me if I don’t read it again. Obviously it is very powerful. Obviously I’m not able to handle the subject.)

I wrote two poems for this prompt. The other one is cheerier…

Here’s the second poem. It was a good quote, like so many of them, led to a train of thought.
