Newness
by Debra White

Lovely Cinquain, it's an interesting poetic form. It looks like you followed the rules well. I like the presentation too. It flows nicely.

Cheers,

gypsy

Good word choices! I read the requirements you list--I think you nailed it. Excellent notes--I always appreciate your precise definitions, even for non-obscure words.

    Thanks Liz :) I like to include definitions for words that I think may be taken either the wrong way, or too lightly! Maybe I shouldn't, maybe I should leave everything to reader interpretation.... but, l know lots of people don't bother to read the author notes anyway LOL
    Best wishes, Debra :)

Great that you have researched the requirements of the cinquain form. It's more detailed than syllables only. I very much like what you have done is expanding the meaning of innovative newness.

Great job with this, Debra and an excellent addition to your NaPo project. :)

Thank you for doing more research on the cinquain poetic form. I like how you presented it - that makes it more thought-provoking. The cinquain contests here only focus on the syllabic count but I like your definition. The picture is perfect and the poem takes us from the something new to something that is new and useful, like the lightbulb!

This Cinquain poem offers a succinct and well articulated defining of the concept of innovation. The image accompanying the piece is perfectly suited to the poem.
