AC's National Poetry Month Challenge - Cinquain
Celebrate Life - a Cinquain
A second cinquain form is 5 lines consisting of 1 word, 2 words, 3 words. 4 words, 1 word.
A third cinquain form is a bit more complicated and is patterned as follows:
1 word (subject or noun)
2 words (adjectives that describe line one)
3 words (end in ing) (verbs)
4 word phrase (that relates to line 1)
1 word (a synonym for the line 1 word)
There are many modern variations to the cinquain. Research the Internet or your local library to learn more about this fun and interesting poetry form.
Here is my offering for today's National Poetry Month challenge - write a cinquain.
Celebrate Life
