Friday Fling #179 May 4th 2012<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Saturday is Cinco de Mayo, an important Mexican holiday. So we thought this would be a good time to <\/font>celebrate Hispanic culture in general about how it affects our lives. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

“Cinco” is Spanish for five. The Friggin’ Fabulously Fun Friday Fling is also called 5F. So let’s go all the way with five and <\/font>write a five line poem, a Cinquain!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

ShadowPoetry.com recently revised its listing for Cinquains and included this useful essay:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Cinquain<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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.<\/font><\/p>\n

(For further information, please scroll down for an article on Cinquain from the SP Quill
\nQuarterly Magazine written by Deborah P Kolodji.)<\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

angels
\nkind beyond words
\nthey protect and forgive
\nand make feelings of blissfulness
\ncherubim<\/font><\/p>\n
