For the Love of Patience

I

Leaves fall while some remain
Steadfast they wait while changing hues
Compliant with time and purpose

Il
“I won’t get a birthday cake
With candles and décor”
Pouting like a child in two days ninety

III
A text asking questions I cannot answer
Should I stay? Does he care?
I could ask the same, committed three decades

IV
They said her heart stopped and couldn’t save her
Just returned from rehab
Are we ever filled?

V
Strong and resilient my lower middle tooth
Crowded by two on either side it wont budge
Neither will I, I fight for love

The cadralor is a poem of 5, unrelated, numbered stanzaic images, each of which can stand alone as a poem, is fewer than 10 lines, and ideally constrains all stanzas to the same number of lines. Imagery is crucial to cadralore: each stanza should be a whole, imagist poem, almost like a scene from a film, or a photograph. The fifth stanza acts as the crucible, alchemically pulling the unrelated stanzas together into a love poem. By “love poem,” we mean that your fifth stanza illuminates a gleaming thread that runs obliquely through the unrelated stanzas and answers the compelling question: “For what do you yearn?”

Just today’s common observations. Not sure i kept all the rules.
