* Cinquain-style poems

A cinquain is a five-line poem that was invented by Adelaide Crapsey. She was an American poet who took her inspiration from Japanese haiku and tanka. A collection of poems, titled Verse, was published in 1915 and included 28 cinquains.

Cinquains are particularly vivid in their imagery and are meant to convey a certain mood or emotion.

Line one had two syllables.
Line two had four syllables.
Line three had six syllables.
Line four had eight syllables.
Line five had two syllables.

(Cinquain-style poem)

<<Story related to the poem>>

Santa,
The vile use him
To send snide messages
To their disliked, chosen victim.
Damages. But wait there’s more!
