My first attempt at a Didactic Cinquain; rules are as follows:
11 WORDS
LINE 1. One-word title, the subject of the poem;
LINE 2. 2 adjectives describing that title;
LINE 3. 3 word phrase that gives more information about the subject;
LINE 4. 4 words describing feelings related to that subject;
LINE 5. A single word synonym or other reference for the subject from line one.

I'm impressed...because I'm someone who is typically not a "form" writer...mostly because I'm pretty terrible at it...LOL You've done a very good job with this, I think...as you've managed to make it beautiful and passionate, which I find is often hard to do when you're forced to follow strict form. Nicely done!
As always you do exceptional work. I'm not familiar with a didactic cinquain, so I had to check it out. I tend to shut down when confronted with restrictions. So I doubt if I will attempt this. But you did a great job. The words you chose fit perfectly.
superbly done, and quite a knack with the rules and all
which I wouldn't even have a smidgen of.
So excellently captured to make a fantastic creation!!
A Noiseless Patient Spiderby Walt Whitman
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch'd fort.. more..
