CINQUAIN

A Cinquain is poetry with five lines. Line 1 has one word (the title). Line 2 has two words that describe the title. Line 3 has three words that tell the action. Line 4 has four words that express the feeling, and line 5 has one word which recalls the title in another word

(often metaphorically)

              Bats

   winged mammals

hunting flying swooping

  seems they're after me

          vampires

                Fingers

        human appendages

   pointing snapping tapping

     defines sense of touch

               Feelers

           Wedding

          joyful event

marching singing uniting

     two become as one

           promise

               Dog

      faithful comrade

sniffing barking romping

     piece of my heart

             friend
