Two Cinquains Lover's Cinquain I wake, one arm stretching over empty bed, one spine curling around one dreamt form. Missing. Twenty-Two rainbow degrees; Tarot majors; syllables in cinquain; city blocks between you and me. by Morgan Grayce Willow

Morgan Grayce Willow started writing cinquains as a training exercise then fell in love with the form. A lousy photographer, she makes snapshots with cinquains instead of schlepping a camera along on her travels. Her chapbook of cinquains Arpeggio of Appetite is dedicated to Adelaide Crapsey, the inventor of the form. Morgan lives in Minneapolis where she teaches at The Loft and Minneapolis College .
