April is Poetry Month!

This is an example of a cinquain, written by Paul B. Janeczko in "A Kick in the Head: An Everyday Guide to Poetry Forms".

Oh, cat
are you grinning
curled in the window seat
as sun warms you this December
morning?




A cinquain is a type of poetry. It is a short poem consisting of five lines, usually UNrhymed contaning respectively
two
four

Syllables.

Can you write your own cinquain? Post it in the comments if you'd like!! We'd love to see what you came up with.
