Written for Cinquain Poetry Prompt #14.
Our inspiration word is “control”. I have
written a Mirror Cinquain, a 10-line,
single stanza poem with a syllable pattern
of 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2
A spark
Ignites in me
Is this joy or madness
The rules I knew begin to bend
I drift
Carried away by your current
I crave the taste of you
I have fallen
Catch me

This is “I Want You” by the Beatles
