Heron Siege

by Gypsy Blue Rose

heron siege flights home

in the dying light —

heron left behind

in decaying marsh

knee-deep in sorrow
 
 
 
 
 
 




A siege is a collective noun for herons


Cinquain Tanka is a combination of a cinquain poem and a tanka. It's written using 5 lines with 5 syllables on each line. "Cinq" is French for the number 5. Tanka is a Japanese poem with five lines too. I created this new poem form. It never rhymes. You can use any subject.

Line one: 5 syllables
Line two: 5 syllables
Line tree: 5 syllables
Line four: 5 syllables
Line five: 5 syllables

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
