This cinquain, Silence, has the proper 2-4-6-8-2 formatting and follows the specific parts of speech directives to lead us to this still, noiseless place.

I enjoyed this well written cinquain, my friend. This is the traditional cinquain form which has been lost in most of them written today. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. Stay safe~Debbie

Hello Mystery Writer,
How I wish I had six stars for your lovely cinquain. Not only is the form PERFECT, but so is the sentiment. I long for silence from the media, politics, and the arguments I have in my head with reviewers who cannot review with fairness... or intelligence!

Your offering is beautiful!

Best Wishes!

    Oh, my goodness gracious yes!! And they're very 'snowflaky'... anything below a five and they're in 'revenge review' mode.... the more and more 'new folks without a clue' there are, the more I may just stick to the folks I know - it's really just not worth being honest anymore. They want an echo chamber of how wonderful their writing is and that's all.... sigh.

I liked it, but it doesn't follow the prompts. The title should have been 'Silence.' The 2nd line has the wrong amount of syllables also. It's good but not fitting in with the instructions.

A well-constructed cinquain that fulfils all of the requirements of the form. Your presentation and your word choices help to create an atmosphere of quiet. Nicely done.

I value peace and quiet so much in this noisy world and I find peace in the early hours or late at night as during the day many of my neighbours are noisy, you brought much tranquility here, love Dolly x
