Cinquains are five-line poems about objects or living things. They follow this pattern:
Line 1: Name the object
Line 2: Describe it in two words
Line 3: Write three action words about it that end with -ing
Line 4: Write 4 words that tell how you feel about it
Line 5: Name a one-word synonym for it
Here is an example I wrote today:
Volcano
Exploding mountain
Burning, flowing, destroying
Changing the Earth's surface
Eruption
