Welcome to my April 2024 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with picture), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, C is for cinquain. The modern cinquain is based on a word count of words of a certain type.  Line 1 has one word (the title). Line 2 has two words that describe the title. Line 3 has three words that tell the action. Line 4 has four words that express the feeling. Line 5 has one word which recalls the title.

The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count. Twenty-Two syllables in the following pattern (2-4-6-8-2) The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count. It has five lines, and often, one word in the first line, two words in the second line etc. line 1 – 2 syllables,  line 2 – 4 syllables,  line 3 – 6 syllables, line 4 – 8 syllables, line 5 – 2 syllables

So, here goes nothing.

Thanks for visiting my 2024 A to Z Challenge – Letter C.

Guess I’m kind of going rogue too…although I do like using the “official” letters…
