From Bjorn at dVerse Poets, a Cinquain, a short poem based on syllable count, a five-line poem with a count of 2-4-6-8-2, “but there are plenty of variations”
“You may use this form as a single stanza, you may reverse and/or or do it as a mirror”
So I thought to that, to stack some, four mirrored Cinquains together into one piece.

A Grimm’s New Tale
In dream
of dire dark wood
I stumbled, there you stood
I’d been warned stray not to dark’s could
in hood
.
you stood
shushing me, pointing at a wolf
of kind in his own hood
but you both stood
in dream
.
both you
dreamt that to would
a new Grimm fantasy
where wolves and red ridings untie
dark dreams
.
escape
not of dark times
but turn tales on their head
to make dream nightmare scenes unite
Grimm’s would
Frankenberry's Attic
