The Cinquain Your Book Challenge

In the tradition of the Haiku Your Book Challenge and because it's been a while since we talked poetry, we came up with the Cinquain Your Book Challenge!

What is a Cinquain? According to poets.org "The cinquain, also known as a quintain or quintet, is a poem or stanza composed of five lines." Five lines, you can write that... Five lines about a book. 

You can use some of the tried and true cinquain forms or just go for it. Here are a few helpful hints...

--Try this idea from types-of-poetry.org.uk:

Line 1 one word (the title)

Line 2 two words that describe the title.

Line 3 three words that tell the action

Line 4 four words that express the feeling

Line 5 one word that recalls the title

Example:

Write.

Your Book,

think about it,

compose your heart out.

We each,

Are magic.
