Analysis of "Ellen" a Cinquain Garland



Treasure,
in bright blue eyes,
crystal vision of light,
she's a whisper of an angel,
Ellen.

Reprise,
of oceans sparkle,
set in white pearl oyster,
she's a cat call in days luster,
to see.

Laughter,
of diamonds,
dolphin eyes glance with sigh,
to shine in her daylights new way,
it's her.

She's alive,
animated,
in hearts for all to hold,
splashing in waves of ecstasies,
soothing.

Mellow,
held in the hands,
silhouette in shadows,
of an arch angel who has her,
blue eyes.

Treasure,
of ocean sparkle,
dolphin eyes glance with sigh,
splashing in waves of ecstasies,
blue eyes.

Dedicated to Ellen Degeneres.
