If anyone's interested in the history of cinquains or the different forms they can be written in there's an article on YWS about that here.

Using the American Cinquain form - which uses slightly different requirements; the typical 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllable pattern & different requirements for the lines as well. Here's what I've got!

Month Musings

This May -
feather dust gone -
She's flown away too soon,
left only her shadow to miss.
Time; gone.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return
