Guide Dog
Retired Ruby
Brightens my world
She lifts my spirits she
Sees all.
***********
A cinqku must always have 5 lines and a perfect seventeen-syllable count. The lines typically follow a 2,3,4,6,2 format. There is no title requirement on the second line. As for syntax and diction styles, it follows the free Tanka style originally. There are no metric requirements for a cinqku poem. Additionally, the final line must contain a cinquain or kireji turn for emphasis.

Good juxtapositionβthe blind dog that sees all.
Sep 06, 2019 @ 15:58:25
Yes but in truth she’s not blind but as you say it works for the Cinqkuπ
Sep 06, 2019 @ 17:52:23
No, I didn’t think she was blindβwe used to call them blind dogs when I was a kid. Daft, I know.
Sep 06, 2019 @ 18:57:27
I guessed that the boys always called them the Blind Dogs for The Guides! π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
