(A Classical Cinquain)

Dear fellow poets at hello poetry, From the core of my heart i dedicate this cinquain to all of you who spare your precious time as to share such exquisite poems. Your work is truly meritorious.

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"

Below is the structure of the classical cinquain:

Line 1: The sentence must bear 2 syllables
Line 2: The sentence must bear 4 syllables
Line 3: The sentence must bear 6 syllables
Line 4: The sentence must bear 8 syllables
Line 5: The sentence must bear 2 syllables

#cinquains are particularly vivid in their imagery and are meant to convey a certain mood or emotion.
