"Better late than never"

Remembering
Finally
At the last moment
This week
To post a cinquain
Because I need the grade

:)

Cinquain

Walking
Now
On my own
Five more minutes
Delayed no longer
When I find myself on time

A cinquain that is mine

Unnerving

Quite
At night
A small fright
To cause a fight
Although I've no spite

*I am not sure about the adverb "quite" here as it is modifying a preposition (but I used it anyways because poetry often bends/breaks the rules of grammar). Suggestions on anything would be much appreciated.

Jims Cinquain

Jumping

Vertically
in my backyard
Every day I go higher
to someday reach the planets and stars
I am yearning and reaching toward the sky.

My Cinquain

I chose to write a cinquain using the "sleeping" title. I hope it makes sense and is written correctly. I placed the number of syllables that I counted in each line in parantheses. If you find anything wrong with my cinquain or have any suggestions let me know!!

Sleeping
alone (2)
in my bed (3)
every single night (5-6: depending on how you pronounce "every")
to rest my aching body (7)
while my mind wanders through a land of dreams (10)

My cinquaine

Dreaming
calmly
in my bed
short quick visions
to soothe my stressed heart
until my life's storm ends
