Post-it Note poetry – Too heavy Peter’s mantle

Today I return to Adelaide Crapsey’s American Cinquain.  Still i tried to be a bit stricter with meter.  Tried to get it to conform to:

  • the 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 stress pattern
  • and the 2, 4, 6, 8 ,2 syllable pattern.

A pope

has resigned. Too

heavy Peter’s mantle.

Too loud, the silent suffering of

children
