The Worst Thing

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" . When I write these for novels, I attribute them to "The Missing Cinquains" by one Arpad Laszlo.


The Worst Thing

The worst
Thing about some people
Is not seen when they are
Drunk, but rather seen when they are
Sober.
