Thread: syllabic cinquain chain

I miss the limerick and haiku threads...(though I seem to have more time to do other things now they are defunct...funny, that).
I propose a new poetry game--if it has already been played, maybe some longer-serving shipmate will let me know.
(I did search "cinquains" with no result.)
Write a cinquain, a five-line poem, based on syllable count.
Pattern as follows:
2
4
6
8
2
BUT--let's add rhyme:
a
b
c
b
a
Thus:
a First, two;
b second line, four;
c the third line uses six,
b the fourth, eight; leaving one line more.
a Now, you.
As in our previous poem threads, each poster writes a cinquain and then suggests the next topic:
vegetable soup
Have at it!

Broth, sir?
Strain that veggie!
Out they go! Be quick, now!
What to use? Oh, don't be edgy:
Cloth, sir!

What a great start, Amanda B!
I hope someone else comes to play....
in the meantime:
Incense,
go over there,
crucifer, please turn right;
chorister bottleneck? I swear,
you're dense!

Love it, WW!
(Hope I may be forgiven for bumping this up, in case there are people who'd like to play and haven't noticed it yet.)
Salad,
or soup, maybe,
on winter days for warmth.
Followed by a nice cup of tea.
Not bad.

High flames
against the dark
on chilly autumn nights;
fun (with danger in every spark)
and games.

That's not right, now, is it?
I'll have to get the calculator.

Oh yum!
Butter in pan,
fry the sliced bananas;
add brown sugar, as much as you can,
and rum.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

Vortex spinning
Round the suns of streetlamps
Morning and the darkness thinning
White light.

Some pop
is fun; Abba,
Beatles, the Moody Blues.
Some is just chaos and jabber--
please stop.

Much fruit,
in every shade.
Vegetables, eggs, honey.
No room to move, I'm burdened, weighed
with loot.
