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 more information about cinquain Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poem.
