Cinquino

• Cinquino is seems to me is a gimmicky invented verse form that reverses the syllable count of the Crapsey Cinquain. It was found in a book on poetry for teachers and was created by a 20th century American educator James Neille Northe.
  
  The Cinquino is:
• a poem in 5 lines.
• syllabic, 2-8-6-4-2 syllables per line.
• unrhymed
  
  I Am
  
  alone
  time flies on flitting fairy wings
  up down and all around
  I am here now
  alive

So Multiprocess      (Cinquino)

time flies

unless you're waiting for the pot

to boil, you all know that

it's relative

in fact
