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

for the prompt, a 'challenge to write a Chained/crown Cinquin poem.

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".)
