Cinquain

A cinquain is a poem with five lines in the following syllable pattern: 2/4/6/8/2. I challenge you to make one and leave it in the comments!

    A fellow blogger just won her first E-bay "war." Her victory won her a mannequin to model her scarves. In an earlier post she had a beanie on a real baby. So I gave her this cinquainian congratulations:

    Mannequin Cinquain

    Congrats
    You're first purchase.
    E-bay certainly rocks.
    Too bad your baby model quit.
    Too bad.

    Challenge me to a game of croquet and I may show some inclination to accept. A poem? I think not.

    PS The verification is bionic - a word!

    cinquain?
    Sounds far too hard
    Getting things to fit so
    Much better for verse to flow free
    No? Yes.

    I found this further response from Don on

    A Monetary Cinquain

    Money:
    What can it buy?
    Surely not happiness!
    But godliness with contentment?
    Great gain!
