Excellent! I had a hard time trying to write something for this picture; I'm impressed with what you did here. I love cinquains--they are so compact and clean.
Cool and slick angle of that red chair. This is not only alliterative, it's a tongue twister! Wish I was retired so I could try all these cool prompts, but reading them is a vicarious joy.
Title is great because we don't know who has sat there once we do. especially liked personification "scarlet seat sleeps" smells socky (I caught a whiff here!)
oh my gosh.. what a great reaction to the photo... i was stumped.. haha... could not help but to smile at the impact of the words, format and everything else inbetween!

One of the finest Oulipian-limited poems I have come across.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, I'll take that as a compliment!
ReplyDeletecinquain + alliteration = uniqueness.
ReplyDeletea perfect photo to support the cinquain too
Sufferin' succotash Sweet-talker!
ReplyDeleteAnd the poem is in the shape of a christmas tree, to boot!
(I would look up what Oulipian means, but I'm under too many time constraints right now.)
Thanks Totomai, I enjoyed reading your cinquain and looking at your unique photo's!
ReplyDeleteHi Philo! You had me going for a moment there Philip!
ReplyDeleteOuvroir de litterature potentielle!
Your cinquain slips too thanks to the alliteration.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
(I was up your way over Christmas.)
Watermaid, Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'm writing half the time and the rest of the time I haven't got a clue!
A firmly seated cinquain there ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year from this side of the hills.
Happy New Year Anthony thanks, it's been snowing - just - on this side of the Pennines!
ReplyDeleteLoved this secret seat!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to have every word start with S! This takes talent! Love it!

ReplyDeleteI didn't read it out loud because... clever use of the prompts and sense of the shoeshine stand. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite part is the creation of the new smell word: socky!
Super sweet syllables!
Thanks Leonard!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, you're too kind!
Hi The Good Typist, Welcome to STG.. It was my first attempt at a cinquain and I did all the S's just to be different. Anyway...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue@Tumblewords, I really enjoyed reading your trio of cinquains today.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, glad you liked it I usually just say sweaty!

Butterfly Cinquain
Thanks Annamari!
