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.

Actually I believe what Jeff said is right. Putting the "someday" in "to someday reach" makes this a split infinitive because the "to" is seperated from "reach." I suppose, however, that you could argue to say that this split infinitive is something that creates an aesthetic quality as this is a poem, and in poems, one can often play with syntax/grammar, a point I argued concerning my cinquain.
