A cinquain poem

Hold me In quiet safety Of your arms strong embrace Dry my tears of feigned innocence Calm me

Marilyn, Isn't it wonderful how much this cinquain poems can say with so few words. Ah, a brief respite in a womans time, and how many of us women have been exactly where you have described, made me smile at long forgotten memories that suddenly came rushing in, thank you. Best always, Lora

Marilyn, your feminine beauty speaks here. The trust that such resignation requires is only earned by fierce labor on the part of us men, but its worth is incalculable. Such a thing required the word invention, completion. Wonderfully, in the symbiosis of metaphor, requiring my search for a dictionary, just as such regard sets its own task...the lovely way women have of asking, are we worth it? Yes, you are. JCH
