A cinquin is a simple 5 line poem that follows a pattern. The pattern is right below. The first line is one word which is the title of the poem. The second line contains two words which are adjectives that describe the title. The third line has three words that tell the reader more about the subject of the poem or shows action. Many times these words are gerunds that end with “ing.”The fourth line has four words that show emotions about the subject of the poem and may be individual words or a phrase. The fifth line is one word that is a synonym of the title or is very similar to it. Look at the examples below.
