OK guys, today's final poetry sampler is the cinquain poem! A cinquain is a poem that has five lines that go like this:
Line 1 is one word that is the title, or subject, of the poem.
Line 2 is two words that describe line 1.
Line 3 is three words that describe or tell the action of line 1.
Line 4 is four words that describe the feeling of line 1.
Line 5 is one word, the same word as line 1.
Joy's Saturday Sample Cinquains:
Cat
Loving comfort
Seeks warm sunlight
Indulges itself like a
Cat.
Superman
Superhero
Saves the world.
Guards the identity of
Superman.
Snow
So white
Falls in winter.
Later becomes gray, slushy
Snow.
And how could I forget our daily installment of Twilight poetry?
Edward
Golden eyes
"It's the flourescence..."
(Shouldn't have said that!)

Gravity shifting
Everything comes undone
Center of the universe
