I am continually surprised by how you can make a cinquain sound rhythmically different from poem to poem. And, of course, there is your signature playfulness with words putting a brave face on a child's poignant trial.
I originally had the following second stanza in "ruminations" and removed it to make the poem have more "breathing room." I wish to return it now with a playful twist...
Grandmother's park had an elephant s l i d e I'll never forget.
