Good Morning (edit 1)

[ellajam]

That's a violent wake-up call, like one of those 2 bell alarms.

Heron's
wingspan slices
though dissipating mists--
soon sun will preen in lake's fun-house
mirror.

Yeah, it did feel like that this morning... Really like your cinquain - the lake as a fun-house mirror is a great image. It's a fun form to work with, isn't it?

I used to play on some cinquain chains, last word is your first word. I've seen some people be able to do amazing things with them. I usually stick with one, but I've seen some interesting work using them as a form for a longer poem.
