J is for Jaded

by Kim Van Sickler

Writers don't want to turn into world-weary, know-it-all, pessimists. Especially if they write for children. We need to see the limitless possibilities. The sun will come up tomorrow!

Thought I'd try out a cinquain poem today.

Jaded
irrelevant has-been
refuses to marvel
quinine aftertaste coats everything
eclipsed

  5. Great poem, and I completely agree that writers can't become jaded. At least, not totally!
