Let’s Write A Cinquain Poem?
A cinquain poem follows a certain rule within its format. They go by syllables and sometimes the number of words. Also can be created by using different parts of speech.
The number of Words Method:
Line 1 = 1 word
Line 2= 2 Words
Line 3= 3 words
Line 4= 4 words
Line 5=1 word
I really don’t like limitations when writing but I still gave this a shot and I encourage all of you to step out your comfort box. Give it a try even if it sounds bad.
So here are my versions
First Poem:
Cinquain
Hate this
Hate limiting creativity
This is getting annoying
Boring
2nd Poem:
Racism
Is stupid
Shoot like Cupid
Killed because of skin
End
That might have been worse than the first
3rd Poem:
Karen
Is racist
I look suspicious
Means Blacks are here
Jobless
Okay moving on. Let’s do one based on syllable count. Just a reminder they don’t have to rhyme but I like to rhyme.
The Syllables Method:
Line 1=2 syllables
Line 2=4 syllables
Line 3=6 syllables
Line 4=8 syllables
Line 5=2 syllables
Speechless
Waiting for cuffs
Instead I see bullets
Flying my way as I’m killed now
I’m dead
That was kinda fun. I know counting syllables can be hard so I used this site to check https://www.howmanysyllables.com/syllable_counter/
The Parts of Speech Method:
Line 1=noun
Line 2=2 adjectives
Line 3=3 -ing words
Line 4=a phrase
Line 5=another word for the noun from line 1
My Poem:
Black
Suspicious, Guilty
Selling, Jogging, Sleeping
Are Still killed
Human
