Hey, first of all apologies to all for the unexpected silence on my part. A quick trip to Hong Kong (I can thoroughly reccommend it to all) and a temple stay saw my time with the laptop diminish somewhat suddenly. Anyway, enough with the excuses, I'll jump back in with a poor attempt at a new genre. Can't say I'm too impressed with the idea of cinquains, they seem more of an exercise in thesaurus writing, but it's just as likely that I didn't really understand what they're all about. Anyway, when I had the idea it needed to be written so here it is, what do you think?
