I stumbled upon cinquain poetry.
Five lines with the following rules;
The first line is one word which is the title of the poem.
The second line contains two words which are adjectives that describe the title.
The third line has three words that tell the reader more about the subject of the poem or show action. Many times these words are gerunds that end with “ing.”
The fourth line has four words that show emotions about the subject of the poem and may be individual words or a phrase.
The fifth line is one word that is a synonym of the title or is very similar to it.
Example(not mine)
Castle
Strong, beautiful
Imposing, protecting, watching
Symbolizes wealth and power
Fortress
………….
Here are my first attempts:
Berlin
cute, vibrant
chilling, shopping, dining
America’s coolest small town
home
……………………………
Karen
cute, adorable
laughing, playing, dancing
a bundle of fun
wife
Very nice!

You have invigorated me to write some cinquain poetry! We used to do these in High School in my Creative Writing Class! Wished I would have kept those!
