A cinquain (pronounced “sin-cane) is a type of poem. Before writing a cinquain, there are some things you need to know…

1.) Each line has it’s own number of syllables.

Line 1: 2 syllables

Line 2: 4 syllables

Line 3: 6 syllables

Line 4: 8 syllables

Line 5: 2 syllables

2.) You don’t have to rhyme, but you can if you want to.

These are 3 of my favorite cinquains that I wrote:

                               Writing

Writing

                Writing is fun

               Educational too

Write on paper, write on the wall

                     Go write

                                               Dance

                                    Dancing

                              We are on pointé

                            Listen to the music

                      Aerials, relevé, and splits

                                  Just dance

 

                         Bubblegum      

                   Bubbles

          All pink and bright

            A sugary delight 

Chew it all day, chew it all night

                   Bubbles
