An Ascent
Introduction I wanted to write a poem about arriving on an island and climbing the mountain at its centre and arriving at the summit. Ideally, the cinquain should be visually centred to give it a visual identity as well as a lyrical one.

Cages of Emotions
Fear is a beast An hungry one at that Feasts on the liver first Keeping dreams grounded Never to take flight Sadness comes in to visit in tow With depression Then anger sets in To fight the denials Scaring away all hope and happiness Pains is felt all over As dreams seem to seep away In silence But what are we without them What are vessel without its content What are human without emotions Nothing But mere emptiness A dried husky shaft Yet with emotions, all focus is lost All strategy ridden with flaws All aims at the target is off All thinking is less that straight As we bend under emotional weight We are but cages of wild emotions That would never stay put As Fear joust with reason Anger with calmness Sadness trying to overcome happy states Depression over clouding motivation We humans docile vessels Of emotional party animal Feel the turbulence within As all emotions fights To be the first one out And when they do come out Anger manifest in fury of punches Fear manifest in flight As happiness in tear of joy Making the world a zoo Of emotional experiences Seen in dramatic expression In every single Cage

The Fish Song
The room didnβt smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.

This was simply outstanding, I love that you got the poem to create the shape of a rain drop!
Oh, this is great. Love it.
Loved the colour of the font, the shape of the droplet and the poem itself!
I love the song and poem. Glad you are motivated again to writeπ₯°
This short poem captures the beauty and sadness of rain with a simple yet effective use of imagery.πππ
I love your shape poem (concrete/calligram poem). This would be a fun new Vocal poetry challenge. The rain is always so soothing.
