National Poetry Month: Poetry Challenge of the Day : Cinquain :River

RIVER

Tikuli Dogra
Cinquain form of poetry writing consist of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines.

Cinquains are short, unrhymed poems arranged in a special way.

Line 1: One general one-word subject.
Line 2: Two vivid adjectives describing the subject.
Line 3: Three interesting action verbs that compliment the topic.
Line 4: Four-word phrase that captures feeling about the topic.
Line 5: A very specific term that explains Line 1.

My Cinquain:

River

serene,tranquil

gurgling, gushing, meandering

vital tumult of life

eternal
