November is About Giving Cinquains. And Thanks, You Should Give Thanks Too.

Ok November's poem type is (insert poorly edited pause from a reality TV show showing clips of people looking around the room) Cinquains!

No, single reader, that is not a spice that you put in your egg nog. Nor is it a rugged part of the Italian riviera. It is a five line poem that follows these rules:

The first line is one word, a noun, the subject of the poem. The second line is two words that describe the noun. The third line is just three words, all verbs. The fourth line is four words, either feelings or a phrase about the poem's subject. And the fifth line is just one word again, another noun describing the subject of the poem.

If done correctly* this could be quite funny and challenging in a good way. Although I also thought that about name poems so take that comment with a grain of salt. Here is my first cinquain ever, or at least since I have known how to ride a bike.

Tedious. Demanding.
Agonizing, rhyming, stretching.
Sharing all my thoughts.
Catharsis.

* No promises to that.
