CINQUAINS were developed in the early 1900s by an American poet to resemble Haiku.
Cinquains follow a formula.
It's kind of confusing, so follow me here:
The first line is one word giving the title. It has 2 syllables.
The second line has 2 words that describe the title. It has 4 syllables.
The third line has 3 words that express an action. It has 6 syllables.
The fourth line has 2 words that express a feeling. It has 8 syllables.
The fifth line is 1 word. It has 2 or 3 syllables.
