I crack up laughing here. I have weighed up the pros and cons of this format and decided enough is enough. I’m content to finish right here and be happy with what I have got.

Footnote:
I think this is the first Cinquain I wrote. I’m almost positive.
Again I went overboard. See here I have used the Limerick rhyming sequence. I intend to use this much more in the future since it is my favourite for this format.
There is a small problem with the limerick rhyming sequence. The first and last word in the stanza are both 1 word, and need to rhyme, and need to have meaning. It isn’t easy.
This poem sums up what I do. I put writing limits on myself to give myself a challenge. In this, I don’t just rhyme the last syllable, I rhyme the last 2 syllables.
The first stanza starts with the core of poetry, meaning. It’s in a sense here talking about writers’ block. You have to clean up all your questions with answers and they need to flow freely. A question such as, “What words can I use that rhyme with meaning?”
There are techniques in writing where you need to cut out words and shorten words but keep the meaning, so that it will fit and have the right rhythm. Sometimes a line my have too many words that are wasted and not needed. The more you work it, the better it gets.
The next talks about the writers’ block being broken, waking up the mind to a new flood of abundant ideas. And then the result explained with a water metaphor.

A 13 Minute Poem for You
This is one for you
Rhyming tanka that is new
Like a limerick
A sequence that does the trick
And it has some meaning too.
Straight out of my head
As if it has just been said
I just write this way
It’s like my mind wants to play
Showing things that you have read.
Maybe you have liked my wit.
Are you gonna write?
Write some poetry tonight
Maybe right there where you sit.
I started with Hi
Now I hope you’re on a high
Joy from reading this
Cherishing the mighty bliss
Now it’s time to say Good bye
