Cinquain

During these two weeks we learned about Cinquain in our Creative Writing Class. As I said before, poetry is not my talent or even interest. As a result I think that the class will be more difficult for me. However, it turns into the otherwise. It turns to be lots of fun!

First, we learn about Cinquain, I think this is the simplest kind of poetry. Theoretically, it should consist of 5 lines. There are some ways to make it, for example:

Pattern #1

Line1: One word

Line2: Two words

Line 3: Three words

Line 4: Four words

Line 5: One word

or

Pattern #2

Line1: A noun

Line2: Two adjectives

Line 3: Three -ing words

Line 4: A phrase

Line 5: Another word for the noun

or

Pattern #3

Line1: Two syllables

Line2: Four syllables

Line 3: Six syllables

Line 4: Eight syllables

Line 5: Two syllables

 

Secondly, we should look for a topic or a theme. For example: life, love, etc.

And this is what I've made for the Pattern 3

 

Memories
Stands still behind
Faithfully following me
Penetrates like acute cancer
it's me  

 

So what about to start making one by one?
