Cinquain "Alien Blooms"

 

Another work that was written specifically for inclusion in my now unpublished poetry collection...Sci-fi cinquain "Alien Blooms" originally published August 2023 in Cosmic Journeys and Gothic Visions: A Speculative Poetry Collection by Richard H. Fay (now out-of-print).

Alien Blooms

Blossoms
an argent hue
turn toward a blue sun
and release a scent pleasing and
toxic.
