Drafting Poetry

Posted on

Melanie at http://wordifull.com/ inspired me to try out some poetry formats so I gave it a whirl. This one is called a “cinquain”.

Quoting from her blog, a cinquain  is:  “A five line poem with no rhyme scheme or meter; each line has a set number of words and a specific function.  No words can be repeated.   

Line 1 – one word that names the subject 

Line 2 – two words (adjective(s) and/or noun(s)) that describe the subject 

Line 3 – Three verbs that describe actions related to the subject   

Line 4 – Four words that express a feeling about the subject 

Line 5 – One word that refers to or is a synonym for the subject.”

Suffolk Punch taking some time off. I took these at an organic farm in Southwestern Ontario where the owners maintain the traditional use of draft horses.

Pulling, plowing, performing
