Whatever it is, tell us, if possible in a Cinquain.<\/font> Shadow Poetry explains:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed
\nas 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey.
\n(For further information, please scroll down for an article on Cinquain from the SP Quill

\nLine 4: Feeling or Effect
\nLine 5: Synonym of the initial noun.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
