Write a Cinquain

Section-posts 2

This is like a simpler haiku:

  • The first line is a one-word title, the subject of the poem
  • the second line is a pair of adjectives describing that title
  • the third line is a three-word phrase that gives more information about the subject (ING words)
  • the fourth line consists of four words describing feelings related to that subject
  • and the fifth line is a single word synonym or other reference for the subject from line one.

For example:

Snow
Silent, white
Dancing, falling, drifting
Childhood excitement, covering dreams
Blanket
