a collaborative butterfly cinquain by Cindy Tebo and Jana B.

Harvests

delta

time where cotton

is king and wal-mart bags

blow like tumbleweeds down lonely

highways

to north woods cabins Friday nights

boat trailers bait and beer

men fishing for

stories

This is cool, never heard of doing it that way. Nice going.

Excellent! I love the phrase "Walmart bags blow like tumbleweeds down lonely highways..." I still don't know what a cinqain is and now have to learn more.

This is wonderful. Loved the analogy between cotton and the wal-mart bags. And cool ending of fishing stories. The men bundling down the road for a week-end of relaxation. Congratulations Jan and Cindy
