Swallowed
The loneliness
Born of a moonless night
As high-tide slaps morning awake
Rebirth.

This verse is a winner, each word is so well placed to form a deep beautiful subject, called rebirth. The picture projects also the real meaning meant in this verse. Loneliness, then rebirth. Terry

A new chapter. All wreckage cleared away. Looking ahead because it's a new day, new opportunities. A man gets out of prison...he's done his time. He now has options...

Fired from one job only to be hired at a better one...

What thought you must have spent on this excellent piece
of work. The words "swallowed the loneliness" makes the reader sense how much you would long for dawn. The picture
of the light house exemplifies the loneliness. Perfectly done. Good luck in the contest.

Another form I had not considered. Well, by the notes it seems you have adhered to the prompt. As the words also
have a message I understand-excellent.

Good to see the cinquain make a rare appearance in our contests list.

Yours is a good one, unsentimental and using the poerful rebirth motif as a strong concluding line.

Your fourth line in particular is very effective, echoing both the aves slapping on the beach and the slap given to a ne-born to start him breathing.

Good luck.

Steve
