Some Cinquain (Pronounced Sincane)

Grading

Gets on my nerves

I need to own my role

Access and trust my own judgement 

It's hard

Aging

cliche's abound

like, "It's just a number."

but it's much more than a number

It's life

Music

moves me along

I am soothed my my songs

It truly "tames the savage beast"

Thank G-d

My dad

made me with mom

been with me all along

fell backwards down a flight of stairs

Survived

Thank G-d

for everything

for life's beautiful songs

for each one of my six senses

Yes, six

Alarms

I'm winding one

Old school, like in cartoons

I learned they're kosher for Shabbos

Really

Bed time

like many things

we give it to children

and take it away from adults

Good night
