| Variations on the Cinquain 1: The Butterfly Cinquain. I think most poets know the Cinquain form already. Adelaide Crapsey invented this form as an answer on the Japanese haiku and tanka. The Cinquain has five lines and does not rhyme. Its syllable scheme is as following: line 1: 2 line 2: 4 line 3: 6 line 4: 8 line 5: 2 An example: Roses. Roses Colored deep red Leaves feeling like satin A gentle perfume surrounds me... All day © Bianca 2002 The butterfly-cinquain has 9 lines. I found a short description of this form after joining a Yahoo group for writing cinquains. It thanks its name on the shape that it forms... like a butterfly. Its syllable scheme is as following: line 1: 2 line 2: 4 line 3: 6 line 4: 8 line 5: 2 line 6: 8 line 7: 6 line 8: 4 line 9: 2 An example: silence no spoken words I hear just the rhythm of the letters that I push in to write a story, that sticks in my mind it flows with every word on my sheet, all words speak. © Bianca 2005 |
