Escape (Cinquain)

Life falls
Like a cold stone
Discarded, unwanted
Away from nature's mountain peak
Death lands

Cinquain poems came from Adelaide Crapsy in 1911, who developed her own poetic system, which she called cinquain.

These were short unrhymed poems consisting of twenty-two syllables. They were distributed into 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables in five lines.
This type of poetry was related to Japanese literary styles.
