Walking - Cinquain

 

  The Call

Mail call 
Me and my dog 
We went out a'walkin' 
Walkin' on the streets for our mail 
Walking

Walking 
Walking the dog 
The dog did her business 
And then was kicking her hind feet 
Kicking 

Kicking 
Kicked up some dust 
Her dust scared up a skunk 
The skunk came running after us 
Running 

Running 
Running full bore 
Didn't know friend or foe 
Came after us--turned rear our way 
Squirting 

Squirting 
Terrible smell 
Quick dog she stepped between 
She took all the smell, we went home 
Walking

Chain/crown cinquain is:
 a series of 5 [entire] Crapsey Cinquains, 25 lines totalsyllabic count: 2-4-6-8-2 in each stanzawritten with a break between each stanzalast line of the previous cinquain repeated as first line of the next cinquain
Note: The final line of the last cinquain does not have to equal the first line of the first cinquain, but it is an option.(I did this, "Walking".)

the quaintest cinquain - odorous but fun and I liked the rhythm
