Each week or so I will come up with some more poetic forms' for your enjoyment.

We will start off with the "Cinquain". These are such fun to do.

You can submit up to 3 cinquains each but they must be on separate pages so I can judge each one individually on its own merit.

Line 3 ~ Three words (verbs) describing the subjects
