Excellent A Didactic Cinquain Little Poems : Worms by Treischel

WORMS Slender slugs Twisting, turning, squirming Put them on hooks Bait Author Notes A Fisherman's delight - the worm. This poem is a Didactic Cinquain. A Cinquain is a poem of five lines, usually in a fixed structure that keys off of syllable count. The Didactic Cinquain focuses on word count instead. So the structured word count is: 1,2,3,4,1. In addition, the Didactic uses a set protocol. Ordinarily, the first line is a one-word title, the subject of the poem; the second line is a pair of adjectives describing that title; the third line is a three-word phrase that gives more information about the subject (often a list of three gerunds, or -ing words); the fourth line consists of four words describing feelings related to that subject; and the fifth line is a single word synonym or other reference for the subject from line one. This is the form of the Cinquain usually taught to school children. This picture is from Yahoo Images.
