These are not the typical questions that one should ask oneself.:

1) Who are you when your skeleton is exposed?

2) How do your bare bones appear?

3) Are you true to yourself?

4) What is the state of your relationships with others?

5) Does your skeleton charm, or does it scare and harm?

Enjoy Bare Bones, a string of Cinquain.

Bare bones

Their form exposed

Clink together in a

Dance, traipsing to Songs

of you

Bare bones

Their form exposed

Their clickity -clack sounds

Truthful tone

Ringing

Bare bones

Their form exposed

Joining together in

Odd synchrony to play the songs

of truth

Bare bones

Their form exposed

Form a skeleton that

Cannot walk unless all the bones

join together

Bare bones

Their form exposed

They come together in a dance

Either a sight that charms the eyes

Or scares.

    Those were some deep questions that I've definitely never asked myself except number 3 and 4. Loved your Crown Cinquain!
