I'm starting to pick up more and more of the nuances of syllables and thoughts behind these unique poetry forms. (That all started when I joined Gypsy's Japanese Poetry Club this past summer.) This cinquain of yours is fun to read, and, I bet, was quite challenging to perfect. They're nowhere near as easy as they may project! xoxox

Knowledge has always been seen as something that is really powerful, and that is certainly true, the more knowledge you have, the powerful you are. A well written piece, I really enjoyed reading it.

Ciao!

One acquires wisdom over the years. And those things you listed in your poem are important.

That said, I would add that we all make mistakes in life.

What is important though is to learn from them so that the next time we face a problem, we will be more prepared.

Our elders have experienced much and can help the younger generations in their life's journey.

We need to take care of our elders and listen to their pearls of wisdom.

Dear Joan, this is a wonderful cinquain poem with a great message. It's actually scriptural that knowledge and wisdom go hand in hand, and one is dependent on the other to bring success and blessings. Thank you for sharing and beautifully so. Sending you my very best today as always.

Very good job on this cinquain poem. Knowledge is definitely the key that opens many doors and makes it easier to understand where we came from and where our country is going. Thanks for sharing this.
