* 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.
