Playing in the Rain

~ Playing in the Rain ~


tip tap

goes the cool rain

spraying my window pane

drip drip drizzle from wet oak trees

sodden earthy and soggy leaves

splosh splash


puddle

pools for jumping

over crusty frost glaze

on the zig-zag pathway to school

raining

- Washout = Informal. an utter failure.

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 and 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
