Okay - a Cinquain has to have 5 lines
First line needs 2 syllables
second line four syllables
third line six syllables
fourth line eight syllables
fifth line 2 syllables
The first and fifth line should have some connection
The second line should be verbs or action words
third line should include adjectives
So I had a go... (this is based on an actual scenario from our front balcony..) I wrote it when I was walking down the road to my writing class - grabbed out my notebook and pen and scratched it out - when the muse visits you have to grab the moment
----------
Possums
In the old gum
Gazing on the river
Cuddled close in a moonlit sky
Lovers
-----------
We tried to take a picture of them - but it was getting very dark. I shone a torch on them while The Laird tried to photograph them, but the bigger (male?) possum turned around and eyeballed us - it was just as if he was saying "P**s off - this is a private moment". They were so gorgeous.
