A
Didactic cinquain is sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as
follows:
Line
1: Noun
Line
2: Description of Noun
Line
3: Action
Line
4: Feeling or Effect
Line
5: Synonym of the initial noun
An alternate version
of the cinquain poem, often called a “word cinquain” is
based on words,
instead of syllables. “Word cinquains” have the following
pattern:
Line 1 1 word
Line 2 2 words
Line 3 3 words
Line 4 4 words
Line 5 1 word
Line 1 — a noun (a word that refers to a thing,
such as apple or book or elephant).
Line 2 — two adjectives, or describing words, that tell
the reader about that thing.
Line 3 — three words ending
in -ing that
are related to the thing, maybe saying what it does.
Line 4 — a four-word phrase (group of words) about the thing,
or about the way it makes you feel.
Line 5 — another noun that is a synonym of (means the same as) the noun
in line 1, or else is a different way of looking at that thing.
