Is This What You Are Looking For?
By GM

Clip to ScrapBook   
I got this out of one of my books:

A cinquain is a structured, five line poem. It always follows this pattern:

Line one - A one word title (noun)
Line two - Two words that describe the title (adjectives)
Line three - Three words that show the action of the title (verbs)
Line four - Four words that express a feeling about the title (phrase)
Line five - One word that is another word for the title (synonym)

Example of a cinquain:

Nanna
Round, Soft
Humming, Baking, Loving
Her lap's for me
Grandma

Possible topics :

baby
wind
snow

school
cookies
mom
dad
friend
vacation
