More micropoetry!
Earlier today, I noticed that #micropoetry was trending over on Twitter/X.
I'd already re-shared some of my haiku, but I suppose many cinquains might also be considered micropoems (poems of 20 words or less). So, I'm re-sharing some of those as well.

My Darkly Dear Leanan-Sidhe by Richard H. Fay Knock soft upon oak door silvered by wan moonlight to offer this dim lonesome soul love’s flame. Enter in brilliant swirl of twirling saffron skirt then enslave desolate heart with black gaze. Embrace my yearning form within delicate arms to ensnare body and mind in fell grasp. Inspire romantic words of passion burning bright then exact heavy price most grim – life’s blood. (Originally published in the August 2010 issue of Sounds of the Night.)

My dark romantic cinquain series "My Darkly Dear Leanan-Sidhe", which was originally published in the Aug 2010 issue of Sounds of the Night.

Leaving
Not with a bang
but with the quiet echo
of all the words I never said.
Farewell

.formiga.

formiga curiosa
sai do formigueiro,
em busca de aventuras.
——

formiga operária:
trabalha sem parar,
para o formigueiro sustentar.
no final do dia,
cansaço e sono a dominar.
——

formiga
pequena,
forte, diligente,
farrega o mundo nas costas,
formiga.
