Cinquain Poems

 

Cinquain Poems

Cinquain is pronounced as sin-cane. It is five lines long. The first line is 2 syllables, second line is 4 syllables, third line is 6 syllables, fourth line is 8 syllables and last line is 2 syllables long. While you make the second, third and 4th line it would be shape like a diamond kind of like a diamante but for me too explain what a diamante is for a different time. While you make your cinquain you can make the words rhyme if you want, but you don’t have too. This is what a cinquain poem would look like. But not shape like a diamond because I couldn’t .

Cinquains

Recently in class we have been working on Cinquains. You might be wondering what are Cinquains well Cinquains are poems with 5 lines. In the first line of the poem there are 2 syllables, in the second line there are 4 syllables, in the third line there are 6 syllables, in the fourth line there are 8 syllables and in the last line there are 2 syllables so its just 24682. Most often Cinquains tell a story, you can make a Cinquain, anyone can make one, the best way to make a Cinquain is to start with a topic, maybe the topic can be about something you love or spring/summer etc and then you can move on from there. I made this post because I made a few Cinquains I want to share, I will be showing 3 of mine, here they are!

Cinquain Poetry.

Since the beginning of the year we have been learning about poems. Over the terms we learned about different types of poems like a Haiku and a Cinquain. here are some of the Cinquain poems I have made.

Cinquain poems

In class we are learning how to write cinquain poems.They are kind of like these:

 

 

NINJAS                                T-REX                                        LIONS

Ninjas!                                  T-rex!                                         Lions!

Super Stealthy,                      Super big, cool,                        Lions are fierce,

using a katana,        with banana shaped teeth,               lions have a mane,weird,

Ninjas feel invincible.ya.  t-Rex skin is ruff and cold ,wow.  lions have very sharp teeth,                                                                                                                                     scary!!

Ka-Pow.                                    Scary!!!                                      cool mane.

 

Cinquain poems have five lines in each poem. like my poems, NINJA, T-REX, and LIONS, they all have five lines, and cinquain poems don’t have to rhyme. So you should try making cinquain poems on your own. Have fun!!!
