I wrote this one this morning while watching the news on television and watching my granddaughter sleep in between my husband and me while the wind was howling in the -12 degree morning.

Innocence
She sleeps
while the wind bombs
and trees shiver with fright.
War flashes on TV, but still
she sleeps.

And that innocence is vital in one so young. We have to give up childhood soon enough as it is.
Excellently done.
Ah, I love this, love it!
As she sleeps between you the wind and the world goes on between 'She sleeps' and 'she sleeps'. Nice move!
oh innocence indeed :-)
I loved the lines .. too good !! but then is ds really a cinquain ?? it doesnt corresponds to the syllable count ..
Only a child can sleep through all that!
Love it.
Have a great creative new year!
playing for pleasing the moon
children are everything especially when they are sleeping soundly...
