Control

These cinquain are addictive!

Steady!.......

my hands tremble

as I try to keep calm

in the face of adversity,

but fail.

This really does have universal appeal. Many will relate to this. Very well captured John.You continue with your addiction:)

Thank you Chris. The tablets are not working so the therapists couch next lol!

They are addictive John. I got so into them, I absent mindedly began thinking in 2,4,6,8,2...even while writing a shopping list. :)
Nicely capturing the all too human conditipn. But still we try. Maybe one day, all we can do is to try and keep going....with intermittent giving up :)

Don't worry I am due to start therapy but there is a waiting list of 18 months! Cheers Lorry.

I've never written a cinquain, but haiku's are just as addictive for me. Love your balance and execution. Is there a syllable count to follow?

So hard sometimes, but I guess I try to write it out, bashing the keys as I go! Thanks for the visit as always Jacob.
