Call of the Ocean
A Crown Cinquain
The wind
It was blowing
She closed her eyes and felt
How nice it is to feel something
Unseen
~~~~~
Unseen
Therefore unheard
But the sea had many
Secrets and mysteries untold
Curious
~~~~~
Curious
She squinted hard
It seemed to her the waves
Were beckoning her to follow
Should she?
~~~~~
Should she
Follow her heart
And jump into the sea
Or listen to the warning bells
Ringing
~~~~~
Ringing
In both her ears
Swimming underwater
Kept going deeper till she found

A Crown Cinquain is a sequence of five cinquain stanzas functioning to construct a larger poem. The syllabic count for each stanza is 2-4-6-8-2.
The last line of the previous cinquain stanza is repeated as the first line of the next cinquain stanza.
The final line of the last cinquain stanza does not have to equal the first line of the first cinquain stanza, but it is an option.

Now that is beautiful! You're digging deeper here Dharrsheena and coming up with material that feels more vulnerable but also more distilled and affecting. This poem is truly lovely, one of the better pieces I've seen at Vocal!
Very beautiful poem🍃
Creatively crafted poem with lots of visual that gives the feel of the sea.
Stunning imagery.

Love it. It captures the soothing yet beckoning nature of the ocean.
The careful construction of words is often overlooked. Yours flows very nicely.

Magnificent Poetry 💯✌️❤️I love the Construction 😉
Cooool
I've never heard of a Crown Cinquain before but now I will just HAVE to try it! I love how the structure flows and even looks on the screen like a wave, and how the repetition of lines underscores the rhythm of waves breaking on a beach. Form and function merge.
Good work. Well thought out.
Beautiful
Good work. I like it.
Oh oh, my idol. It’s fantastic as always!
I really enjoyed this and the story you told throughout the poem, and the structure is also super cool! Might have to try this style of poem too soon :)
Love this! ❤️
Oh wow I really liked this! I want to try this style
