Otherwise if im to bring more light to the above poem, a classical cinquain is a five-line poem that was inveted by an American poet known as Adelaide Crapsey who took her inspiration from Japanese Haiku and Tanka. Over the years, there have been variations of the cinquains such as "The Didactic cinquain"

With all rainbow colours,
Exuding felicity upon
The skies.

Acres of sadness

I dreamed of my father
crossing the fields
on his one-eyed tractor
mowing acres of sadness
heading east of a moon
that'll be gone tomorrow
and I waded the creek
beneath a ridge
where my mother is shearing
dead roses and the smell
of those flowers floating
to the foot of the mountains
reminds me of her hair
and my father's laughter
disappearing across the hill.

Wednesday night you loved me
Thursday morn no more
Now my heart is broken
Shattered on the floor

It came without a warning
Just a little note
It said that you were leaving
That is all you wrote

Now I sit here crying
Loneliness I feel
What we had was special
I thought that it was real

I wish that you had told me
Just what you had in store
Wednesday night you loved me
Thursday morn no more
