French Hens

          French Hens

          From France they come

          American citizens

          National anthem they must hum

          Ta-dum





          French Fries

          On Christmas Day

          Beyond the chimney lies

          A diner with dinner display

          Frappé





          French Hens

          Of Good Spirit

          Beyond the snow opens

          Camaraderie to dear wit

          Hear it?





          French Belles

          Dancing in sway

          Clattering cockleshells

          Merrily a chance to go play

          We pray





          French Belles

          On Holiday

          Find love and romance swells

          Like smoke and light they drift away

          Away





          French Hens

          On Christmas Day

          Beyond the snow opens

          Merrily a chance to go play

          Away

Challenge 3: Without your partners (they are only challenge 2) create me a Cinquain, or Garland Cinquain, about something that is related to France. No matter how distant or strange!

Garland Cinquain: a sequence of six cinquains in which the final cinquain is composed of lines from the preceding five (generally Line 1 from Stanza 1, L2 from S2, L3 from S3, L4 from S4, L5 from S5)

Cinquain has the syllabic count 2/4/6/8/2 - this equals one stanza.
