Upon the Death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Cinquain, a five-line poem (syllables in consecutive lines = 2, 4, 6, 8, 2) invented by Adelaide Crapsey, an American poet inspired by Japanese haiku and tanka.

How Phil
reflects our fate
though sailor, prince, and duke
who always was a would-be now
has been.
