Another Cinquain

In case you're not familiar, a cinquain consists of 22 syllables, distributed in lines of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables.  This one is for a chapter heading in my novel, "Murder on Cabot's Landing" Open in new Window..  When I write these for novels, I attribute them to "The Missing Cinquains" by one Arpad Laszlo.


Cat's Eyes


                                 Thinking
                                 I’m supreme, I
                                 Stare into my cat’s eyes.
                                 My cat’s gaze into mine reveals that
                                 I’m not.

                                     ---The Missing Cinquains
                                         Arpad Laszlo
