Joy

My God.

What a wonderful anti-cinquain - a form to which I have a sudden urge to return.

However -- I think that if you found a way to merge the two sentences into one - you'd end up with a much more powerful write over all. Also - the congruity of happiness and joy makes the second line a little deflated. I think if you changed the word happiness to a two-syllable word and ended that line with and, you'd end up with a platform to do so.

Oh, oh.

Also - (someone else told me this a while ago).

Unless the form specifically performs FOR the poem, it is not worth using.

You might merit from rearranging the line breaks.

 

Just thoughts.
