Cinquain Poetry

"Training"

Training
Dedication, Persistence
 Planning, Stretching, Running
Enjoying nature while logging numerous miles.
Living


I've found a new form for creating Cinquains. It's a bit easier than the one we used in class that really focused on having the correct amount of syllables in some of the lines.  Try it out and see what you think. Here is the form. 

Line 1: One word (subject or noun)
Line 2: Two words (adjectives that describe line 1)
Line 3: Three words (action verbs that relate to line 1)
Line 4: Four words (Feelings or observations about line 1)
Line 5: One word (synonym of line one or word that sums up poem)

I hope this makes creating Cinquains a bit easier for you. Thanks to those who have been posting lately as you really are the force that keeps this blog going. Make today a great one!
