For the last week's casual poetry prompt contest you finally get a ~structure~ prompt! I am challenging you! to try your hand at writing a cinquain.
There's a nice article on YWS over here that explains two versions of cinquains - the syllable structure is always (2, 4, 6, 8, 2) for the five lines - and then there are different requirements for each line, that can be a little flexible as needed. Here's the version modeled after the American Cinquain form from Adelaide Crapsey's poetry:
Spoiler
Line 2 is a further Description of Line 1 or Title (4 syllables)
Line 3 is an Action (6 syllables)
Line 4 is a Feeling or Effect (8 syllables)
Line 5 is a Synonym of Line 1 or Synonym of Title (2 syllables)
The winner will get 500 points again!
