Blackbird's Song
I hear
the blackbird sing
for the first time this spring
the song echoes through the whiteness
of snow
just a begginner's attempt at cinquain... the idea didn't fit into haiku, so i tried to extend it to tanka, and ended up with this.

A very nice beginning indeed!:)
You try it, I like it...
Polona, I don't know anything about cinquain, but i do like the poem.
ditto pat.
thank you, aurora, borut, pat and eric.
i don't know much about cinquain either, perhaps below is a way to start: http://members.aol.com/acinquain/front.html
Your words are haunting. The sunset is spectacular. You've managed to relate the two, even if as you say there are no words to go with the photo. I think you've managed to bring everything together!
thanks again, nick.
i was kind of hoping the poem and the photo would fit together and looks like it's worked.
some fine cinquains can also be found on denis garrison's new website flying fishes:
