Fireworks (Cinquain)

by Mr. Darcy   Nov 5, 2008


Fireworks
Stunning, displays.
Soaring, roaring, booming
Guy Fawkes' evil plot was foiled
Bonfire

*Cinquain poems came from Adelaide Crapsy in 1911, who developed her own poetic system, which she called cinquain.

These were short unrhymed poems consisting of twenty-two syllables. They were distributed into 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables in five lines.
This type of poetry was related to Japanese literary styles.

    Very visual this poem is, Guy Fawkes is out of control in our country like so many other things. I used to love it too when people were more considerate. Now i keep my dogs in doors.
    It is similar to a Haiku is it not

    Well done Michael
