A cinquain is a poem with five lines in the following syllable pattern: 2/4/6/8/2. Since I spent the day in a math workshop today, I'm thinking numbers, lots of numbers. We covered properties of numbers, including even and odd, and I think the odd numbers need just a little bit of love. I'm proposing to write "odd" versions of cinquains this week. Instead of following the traditional pattern outlined above, let's try writing them in the pattern 1/3/5/7/1.
That's it. Leave me a comment about your "odd" cinquain and I'll post the results here later this week.

This was difficult but quite fun! I am supposed to be writing report cards this week but I used your challenge as a distraction. It took me several days, in the course of which the cherry tree I was watching lost all it's leaves. Here it is.
ReplyDeleteThat was harder than evens, somehow.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to grapple with large ideas with small words. It didn't really work, but this is where I am as of this moment:

Gift:
Opened hands,
Held out and holding;
Pull you close, the wide world shrinks.
Linked.
I wrote mine as part of my 15 Words or Less roundup this week:
