Tiny
Drops of water
Fills a bucket. Mini
Good habits make a man noble
And great.
A cinquain is a form of poetry that is very popular because of its simplicity. It was created by American poet Adelaide Crapsey about 100 years ago and is similar to Japanese poetic forms, such as haiku and tanka.
Cinquains are five lines long. They have 2 syllables in the first line, 4 in the second, 6 in the third, 8 in the fourth line, and just 2 in the last line.

The Three Foolish Princesses
Once upon a time in a land filled with sunshine and laughter, there was a village so pretty it looked like a painting. This village was home to King Chima, a king loved by all because he was as wise as he was kind. His big heart reached out to everyone, making sure they were happy and safe. King Chima had a large family with two wives. His first wife, Julie, gave him three daughters—princesses who were as beautiful as the morning sun. Then there was Uchi, his second wife, who gave him two brave sons—future kings of the land.

Loud Silence
My life is somewhat stressful right now. Actually, my husband and I are somewhat stressed right now. With the usual stresses of work, finances, and life, my mother-in-law has terminal cancer and is fading fast. At the time of this writing, she is stable, and we have help from cousins to see her, spend time with her, and help with her care.
