Cinquain
Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines.
Another form, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:
Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun. (Shadow Poetry Website)
Warning: my second poem was not meant to offend those of softer sensibilities…
An Example of a Cinquain:
(A Winter Celebration)
Yuletide
green mistletoe
a kiss smile and a wink
cookie crumbs and a glass of milk
Christmas[/center]
Here I sandwiched in a Cinquain with 2 Tetractys
(a divine answer
God
Young girl
Divine rape
The chosen child
Cuckold, betrayed; Joseph seeks an answer
Virgin
Grace and beauty
Golden light warm embrace
She lay on sanctified soil
Mary
Husband in name only; doing God’s work
The angels swore
Doubt no more
Have some
Faith
In this piece I did a Variation- a triple with some syllable alteration:
(The Heart is more than a muscle)
My Heart
missing a beat
a blood revolution
caught unawares by this vicious
Attack
Your Heart
in much distress
a great love turned sour
nothing but pain and one bad head
Ache
Our Hearts
once filled with love
now laid in waste and ruin
weak foundations just crumble and
Break
------
nature weeps, the devil sings
at man’s greed and pride
and what it brings
just lots of useless
little things…
"He was the brightest of all the stars
of heaven, and even ripped and torn
in half, he still shone with a fire of a
billion suns. With a mighty roar
and a Big Bang, he imploded and
exploded out of the nothingness; and
the flow of Time began.”
