Xillus Xavier Poems

***This is a Cinquain***

The duck,
gently drifting
...

A liner meets an icy doom at night.
A silver blimp becomes a ball of flame.
A harbor's bombed by planes at early light.
A charismatic president is slain.
...

*** This is a cinquain: syllable form of 2-4-6-8-2 ***


Walking,
...

Candle dancer burning bright,
Entertain my eyes tonight.
Wick and wax provides the song.
for flame to flick and sway along.
...

***This is a Cinquain***


the leaf
...

*** This is a cinquain ***

Puppies,
each white and fawn,
...

At five in the evening
the hired band plays
one last slow song,
lakeside amid
...

A sleepy Chuck Norris
was driving his Taurus,
and dozing, ran a red light.
He t-boned a Mustang,
...

The Wicked Witch of the West
is feeling very depressed.
The hag soon disappears
as she melts in all her tears.
...

the screams of joy
echo in the alley
while the dirty boys play.
...
