Misplaced
I sit often and cry
Not because I am hopeless
These wild tears are the result of
An over abundance of hope
Misplaced in a myriad of intention

Quintain reveals...
A poem of five lines. I think I need to make a new shift to try this form. Believe me, I find it difficult to compose a short verse like this.

Excellent write RA! This
Excellent write RA! This spoke to the over-taxed optimist in many of us these days (my interpretation, at least), and I was impressed with the effective use of brevity - good stuff!

A mix...
of hopelessness and optimism, that could only be described as a dream of ecstatic promise.~ Geez.

dear Tim,
I am relieved to learn that the tears are not born from any kind of pain. I like these lines best:
An over abundance of hope
Misplaced in a myriad of intention
