Friday Fling #257 November 8th 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Monday November 11th is Veterans’ Day, a day to remember <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and <\/font>show our appreciation for the soldiers who have served<\/font>.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It was established after World War I on Armistice Day,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

when that war, one of the worst in history, ended in 1918.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We thought the <\/font>Cinquain would be a good format to express the meaning of Veterans’ Day.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Recall that it is a poem of five (“cinq” in French) lines<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and progressively larger number of syllables<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

until the last line returns to two,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

thus: (from shadowpoetry.com)<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables <\/font><\/p>\n

distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey. <\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s an example:<\/font><\/p>\n

Turquoise Thoughts<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Hammered
\n silver bracelet,
\n desert sky turquoise stone –
\n city-bound but feels sagebrush in
\n her soul.<\/font><\/p>\n

Copyright \u00a9 2005 Deborah P Kolodji<\/font><\/p>\n

Another variation, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Line 1: Noun
\n Line 2: Description of Noun
\n Line 3: Action
\n Line 4: Feeling or Effect
\n Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.<\/font><\/p>\n

Example:<\/font><\/p>\n

angels
\n kind beyond words
\n they protect and forgive
\n and make feelings of blissfulness
\n cherubim<\/font><\/p>\n

This week the CPC Friday Fling remembers America’s veterans in Cinquains!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment respectfully <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

on your fellow Pals’ memorials. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then enjoy a weekend of American freedom!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
