I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

first, happy new year Gemma!
i really liked your cinquain, the inclusion of quadratic equation is very clever.
nice metaphor enveloping the poem.
Love the cinquain.
You're so mathamatical!
Love that cloud, the red roof, and the green tree.
We were looking at a globe last night and discussing where the day begins all over the world. It seems you were one of the first to welcome 2009!
I like how this cinquain gets deeper and deeper!
Happy New Year!
Impressive, as always!
May your poetry continue to bring you peace, rhythm, and harmony in your relations with Nature in the New Year.
Your blog is beautiful!
I love your cinquain--especially the bit about the answers in the back of the book!
As I sit here basking in the new year, I suddenly remembered that it is well past for you.
I too loved your cinquain...I will have to try it sometime when the mood strikes and the subject presents itself.
Well, here we go...into the change and beyond...
later friend, you are my best teacher...s
Happy New Year to one of the most original bloggers I drop by. You always respond to the prompts so well.
Fun cinquain and lovely sky! Happy New Year to you and yours ;--)
