The Friday Fling Goes To The Zoo To See You!
CPC Friday Fling #192 August 10th 2012
What zoo animal describes you?
Are you cute and cuddly like a lion cub?
Comical like a monkey?
Tall and reaching for the heights like a giraffe
or perhaps expressive like a roaring bear
or deliberate as a tortoise?
Or?
Whatever it is, tell us, if possible in a Cinquain. Shadow Poetry explains:
A Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed
as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey.
(For further information, please scroll down for an article on Cinquain from the SP Quill
Quarterly Magazine written by Deborah P Kolodji.)
Turquoise Thoughts
Hammered
silver bracelet,
desert sky turquoise stone –
city-bound but feels sagebrush in
her soul.

Another 2-4-6-8-2 variation, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:
Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.
Example:
angels
kind beyond words
they protect and forgive
and make feelings of blissfulness
cherubim

This week the Friday Fling goes to the zoo to see you and write about it in Cinquains!
If you would rather not write about yourself, you could write about which zoo animal reminds you most of a friend of yours. But we’d rather read about you!
Be sure to save time to read and comment zoo-logically on your fellow Pals’ poetic analogies. Then go explore the flora and fauna of your weekend in your own instinctive way!!
If you like this challenge, be sure to click on the heart at the top of this blog so we know!
