MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF LOUISIANA'S BAYOU COUNTRY --It doesn't take much to believe the folktales of the bayous and swamps of Louisiana. The twists and turns of the waterways and the shade of our cypress trees provide a mysterious backdrop for myths, legends, and folktales. click here to read a few stories
CINQUAIN is inspired by Japanese haiku and tanka, is akin in spirit to that of the *Imagists. The form is five lines with 22 syllables count in a pattern of 2/4/6/8/2. The title is used as the sixth line. It's usually unrhymed but it can be rhymed about any subject. It was created by American poet, Adelaide Crapsey in 1915. Her cinquain depends on the strict structure and intense imagery to communicate a mood or feeling. *Imagism was a movement in early-20th-century American poetry that favored precision of imagery and clear, sharp language, very much as haiku and tanka. more information
