A not so traditional cinquain
Cinquains are 5 line poems with a strict syllable count inspired by haiku. As I’ve mentioned before, I like rules! But rather than going right to the real rules of the Cinquain as the rule-follower in me wants, I’ll begin with the much easier:
Cinquain Pattern #2Here’s an example from Cinquain Poems:Line1: A noun (The subject of the poem)
Line2: Two adjectives (describing the subject)
Line 3: Three -ing words (relating to the subject)
Line 4: A phrase (feelings that relates to the subject)
Line 5: Another word for the noun (or word that sums it up).
Spaghetti
Messy, spicy
Slurping, sliding, falling
Between my plate and mouth
Delicious
