Write a Cinquain - 5 line poem
Hi to all:

There is a particular type of five line poem known formally as a Cinquain. Ideally each word should have 2 syllables.


A Cinquain has 5 lines
Line 1 is one word
Line 2 is two words that describe the title
Line 3 is three words that tell action
Line 4 is four words that express feeling
Line 5 is one word that recalls the title

eg.
Snow
White, cold
Blowing, falling, piling
Excitement-maybe no school!
Snow

eg.
triangles
pointy edges
revolving, rotating, angling
Triangles are all different.

share some of your cinquains with us.
creative!
