Cinquain Sequence
Beware the False Gift
What now
a Trojan Horse?
Those sails were deceptive!
The prize of freedom is ruthless
watching.
A gift!
Truly, you jest!
No soldier leaves prizes
for his enemy to plunder!
A trick!
Beware—
the gift of death,
a fatal sting awaits.
Keep the gates barred and man the watch
all hours.
