This is a cinquain, a poem of 5 lines with 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllable line count.
This configuration
is a bit different and is of my own design - there is a mirrored cinquain in the
middle. Hope you
enjoy.

Spirit Birth

Hopping
on grasping feet,
their heads bobbing tempo
with each raucous turn of the moon,
they caw.
Eyes roll with each
grimaced shadow, nameless
amongst the whispering deadfall --
arise!
Shaman have infused wood with lore
before tools mar the skin;
their voices curl
over
shuddering wood, coaxing each moan
of light until totem's
spirit is free
to roam.
