Cinquain Poetry

Today in class, we practiced writing a few cinquain poems together. A cinquain poem is a five line poem that follows a specific pattern. Here is the pattern:
Line 1 - a noun with two syllables
Line 2 - two adjectives
Line 3 - three "ing" describers
Line 4 - a sentence or phrase
Line 5 - a synonym for the noun in line 1
Here are a few that Miss T's homeroom came up with.
