A Zany Cinquain from Zorlone – A Replay of His First Poems!

Oftentimes we come across someone who has real talent and we know in our hearts, we just have to share this with others – with the blogosphere.

You,endowed, vacillating,upon the thresholdof the elusive muse.oblivious to everything -fettered.Realization,dawning leisurely,and the consummationof passion and desire,umbrage for losttime, chances -enlightenment

A PARAGRAPH FROM A POEM
