Poetry
Cinquain is a form of poetry written using a "recipe" or "formula." A writer can use words or syllables to write his poem. In our class, our first attempt at writing cinquain was using words. The first line of the poem uses one word to name a subject associated with winter; line 2 uses two words that describe the subject; line 3 contains three action words about the subject; line 4 is a four or five word phrase describing the subject; and, line 5 is a word that means the same as the first word. Cinquain is often referred to as a "diamond poem." Here are just a few of our poems.
