Hello,
Agent Starling,
have the lambs stopped screaming?
They cry themselves to sleep every

Author Notes
-- For The Little Shop of Horror Club this week's poetry prompt, is to write a cinquain based on a horror movie or novel. Use the name of the movie or novel as the title for your poem. Thanks to Marilyn Hamilton, for organizing the club event.
I chose Silence of the Lamb, my favorite horror movie. I used some of the quotes, here are the original and a few more. All are written by author Thomas Harris, writer of the "Silence of the Lamb".
"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."
"God's creatures who cried themselves to sleep stirred to cry again."
"Hello Clarice..."
"It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told."
"People will say we are in love."
-- A cinquain is written using a pattern. "Cinq" is French for the number 5. This type of poem only has five lines. Each line follows a specific pattern.
The traditional cinquain, as developed by Adelaide Crapsey, has five lines and a strict structure based on syllable count. 2/4/6/8/2
Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
