Let\u2019s Write a Cinquain.<\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a Cinquain poem?<\/h2>\n

A five-line poem created by American teacher and poet Adelaide Crapsey. She was born in 1878 in Brooklyn and lived most of her life in Rochester, NY.<\/h3>\n

Her new poetry form reflects her interest in Japanese Haiku and the tanka forms.<\/p>\n

The Cinquain, typically, is expressive, vibrant, and dramatic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Instructions:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Line 1_ 1 Noun<\/p>\n

Line 2_2 adjectives<\/p>\n

Line 3_ 3\u00a0 \u201cing\u201d words (verbs)<\/p>\n

Line 4_ 4 feeling words \u2013 or a feeling phrase \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 with four words<\/p>\n

Line 5_Another word for the Noun in line 1<\/p>\n

My Example:<\/h3>\n

This cinquain poem\u2019s inspiration is a visit to the catacombs in Salzburg, Austria.<\/p>\n

I made some notes in my journal after completing a tour on July 10, 1991.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On February 20, 2021, as I was looking through my journal from that first visit to Salzburg, I saw the notes I wrote at that time. I used my notes and my memory to create the poem below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During this first week of Lent, I thought about the tomb that held the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. I combined those thoughts with my sensory memory of being in the catacombs in Salzburg over thirty years ago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wall<\/p>\n

ancient, eroded<\/p>\n

holding, hiding, saving<\/p>\n

lonely breathless dank \u00a0touch<\/p>\n

Tomb<\/p>\n
