It was established around 100 years ago by American poet Adelaide Crapsey and is similar to Japanese poetic forms like haiku and tanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Cinquains, there are just five lines, with only a few words on each line, making them quite simple to write. As a result of the short lines between the first and last lines of this poem, which have just two syllables each, they end up looking like a diamond, similar to the poetic form called a diamante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cinquain tells a story in five lines by offering descriptive words, a narrative action (an event), a feeling triggered by that action, and a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/kiiky.com\/how-to-write-a-diamante-poem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Write a Diamante Poem | Full Guide with Templates<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-cinquain-poem-format\"><span id=\"what-is-a-cinquain-poem-format\"><strong>What is a Cinquain Poem format?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When writing a cinquain poem, always have in mind that there are various types of cinquains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have the Crapsey cinquain Format and the American cinquain Format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Crapsey cinquain has a more constrained structure than an American cinquain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While an American cinquain must have a set number of syllables in each line, the Crapsey cinquain demands a certain amount of stressed syllables per line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-the-crapsey-format\"><span id=\"1-the-crapsey-format\">1. <strong>The Crapsey Format:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crapsey&#8217;s cinquains utilized an increasing syllable count in the first four lines, namely two in the first, four in the second, six in the third, and eight in the fourth, before returning to two syllables on the last line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, though little emphasized by critics, each line in the majority of Crapsey cinquains has a fixed number of stressed syllables, following the pattern one, two, three, four, one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The most common metrical foot in her twenty-eight published examples is the iamb, though this is not exclusive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lines generally do not rhyme.

A writer named Adelaide Crapsey created it in the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few steps you can follow to learn how to write cinquains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Think about what you would like to write about.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Defining your idea by using words and phrases that relate to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider what story you want to tell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your words and phrases should be arranged in an order that tells your story, counting both syllables as you go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-getting-your-feet-wet\"><span id=\"1-getting-your-feet-wet\">1. <strong>Getting Your Feet Wet<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first step is to choose a topic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, you must select something to write about for your cinquain. You can get ideas from any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Write about something you don&#8217;t like<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Something you see around you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write about something that happens to you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While I enjoy listening to music, I can come up with a cinquain poem about it. This is convenient since the word &#8220;Music&#8221; has two syllables, so I can probably use this phrase as the first line of my cinquain. If your favorite thing is Rice, soccer, your mum, etc., you could also use &#8220;Rice,&#8221; &#8220;Soccer,&#8221; or &#8220;my mum&#8221; as the first line of your cinquain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-idea-generation\"><span id=\"2-idea-generation\"><strong>2. Idea-generation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to brainstorm ideas about your topic once you know what you will write about. Put your thoughts down on paper and write as many things as you can relating to your topic. You are allowed to write your ideas on one piece of paper then write your poem on another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I know several things about Music, so I&#8217;ve put them down here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>It is&nbsp; Magical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is soothing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s beautiful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It brings emotion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a collection of four ideas, but they aren&#8217;t a poem. To make them a cinquain, we need to arrange them to have five lines, and each line has five syllables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-a-syllabic-count\"><span id=\"3-a-syllabic-count\"><strong>3. A Syllabic Count<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you write each line, count your syllables with your fingers. If a line contains too many or too few syllables, consider changing a few words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having counted the syllables accurately, read the poem over to ensure it conveys what you intend. If it doesn&#8217;t tell what you want it to, you may need to change it some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have finished your cinquain, reread it and count the syllables on your fingers to make sure you got everything correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-cinquain-storytelling\"><span id=\"4-cinquain-storytelling\">4. <strong>Cinquain Storytelling<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good story is one of the characteristics of the best cinquains.
