   My sentiments too! I love the simplicity composing a cinquain requires … yours has depth and introspection, nothing simple about it.

    Love your cinquain, Judy. I’ve accepted it now; after eleven years of retirement, I’m happy in my own skin, hairstyle, clothes – and I can write as much or as little as I want.
