Cinquain

a type of poem now forgotten....

Wild mint

That grows at ease

At the edge of a field

Do not hide yourself in false shame

Be proud !

Author's Note

invented by the American poet Adelaide Crapsey ( 1878 - 1914 ).I don`t normally write like this, but I loved the name cinquain. Follows a 2/4/6 /8/2 syllable format.(And yes, she was really called Adelaide Crapsey...)

I love the skill here to say so much so quickly. Very nice piece.

Hmm. Perhaps not so forgotten a form: I've read three cinquains at the cafe today. Yours the fourth.
