Great one!
Good job in 5 short lines.
I've never heard of a didactic cinquain but your poem is right on in capturing the essence of August :)
Very nice job on this one! :-)
Rules in poetry? That just seems wrong...looks right to me :)
Love it! (Never heard of didactic cinquain either... but who cares if it's "right" as long as it's cool!)
I never heard of it either and I've read a lot of poetry. Very impressive!
Congratulations.
Never heard of a didactic cinquain. I do now that you've got the month of August NAILED though! It is unbearable around here.
Never heard of this style of poetry, but good job taking the leap and trying it.
