Cinquain and Concrete Poetry

Cinquain

A type of poem made up of 5 lines, each line having its own significance to the story the poem is trying to tell. Here is the structure of a typical cinquian.

Noun (subject)
Adjectives (2)
Verbs (3)
Imagery (4-6 words)
Synonym (subject)



Here are my attempts at a cinquain!


Olympics 2012
                       Tennis

                Quick, Intense

 Captivating, Exhausting, Breathtaking


     Gladiators battling out on court


                      Match


                     






Champions League Final '08

                       
 Penalty
              
Concentrated, Pressure
                                              Overwhelming,Unrelenting,Heart-stopping
                                                        The stakes have never been higher
                                                                          Shootout
               




Concrete Poetry

The shape the words are drawn into is the subject of the poem

Mine for example is the usual cheeseburger found at most fast food places--

I have tried to describe the details of the burger and maybe what the eater will fell after the meal!
