Thank you, Admin, for an enticing opportunity to revel in cinquainetic thinking! I've seen great examples from my fellow poets. I did not know I would win; I am, however, grateful for the recognition.
Congratulations to runners-up Slipalong and Jade Pandora. Kudos to everyone who entered.
Sincerely
