The cinquain poem (pronounced "cin-kain") is based on the Japanese haiku. It too is a five-line poem, but has a specific structure.
Line 2 is two words that describe the title
Line 3 is three words that tell the action
Line 4 is four words that express the feeling
Line 5 is one word that recalls the title
With today being the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I felt it was most appropriate to write about that day. When it happened, I was between classes at The University of Toledo and didn't end up going to any more classes that day, as they were all canceled. Instead I went to a sports bar so I could watch the story unfold from the dozens of TVs in silence with friends.
We Will Never Forget
9/11
Hell Day
Killing, terrifying, rescuing
We stand against terrorism.
Indivisible
