WELCOME TO 2020!!!! I’m technically writing this post a few days before 2020 begins, but now that you are reading it it is the beginning of a new decade!!! Exclamation points abound!!! Anyway, now that it is 2020 it is time to spice these WWW posts up a little bit. Each month I am planning on trying out a new style of poetry besides haiku (hopefully I can find twelve). In January, I will be attempting a poetry form called American Cinquain, which is a form of poetry that has five lines, generally unrhyming, that follow this syllable pattern: 2-4-6-8-2. Here goes my first attempt!
“2020!!”
The ball
drops in New York
cheers and applause follow
at my house there is silence–Tis
new year.

Thanks for reading! Did you make any new years resolutions?
