Written for Cinquain Poetry Prompt #37.
Our inspiration word is “humble”.
This is my mirror cinquain.
humble
those who listen

those who help without need for praise
they glow
serene
not seeking spotlight for themselves
but peaceful in the hand
they quietly
offer

Thank you, Ernie. Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and you realize they’re really not listening? That is so rude. A good listener is a treasure.

I see that a lot Nancy. I usually find a reason to end the conversation. It is extremely rude .
