The Mirrored Cinquain First I have to bring back into memory how the cinquain goes: The cinquain is developed by Adelaide Crapsey. A cinquain contains five lines (the French word cinq can be found in it), and has a total of 22 syllables. The poems are unrhymed, and in a way related to the haiku This is how you form the cinquain Line 1: 2 syllables Line 2: 4 syllables Line 3: 6 syllables Line 4: 8 syllables Line 5: 2 syllables The Mirrored Cinquain has an additional stanza, in which you mirror the order of the lines. This is how you form the mirrored cinquain: Line 1: 2 syllables Line 2: 4 syllables Line 3: 6 syllables Line 4: 8 syllables Line 5: 2 syllables Line 1: 2 syllables Line 2: 8 syllables Line 3: 6 syllables Line 4: 4 syllables Line 5: 2 syllables The spaced opening in the middle forms the mirror, and in the second stanza you can see that the order of the lines are reversed. |
