The Friday Fling Celebrates Hispanic Culture!
Friday Fling #179 May 4th 2012
Saturday is Cinco de Mayo, an important Mexican holiday. So we thought this would be a good time to celebrate Hispanic culture in general about how it affects our lives.
“Cinco” is Spanish for five. The Friggin’ Fabulously Fun Friday Fling is also called 5F. So let’s go all the way with five and write a five line poem, a Cinquain!
ShadowPoetry.com recently revised its listing for Cinquains and included this useful essay:
Cinquain
Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey.
(For further information, please scroll down for an article on Cinquain from the SP Quill
Quarterly Magazine written by Deborah P Kolodji.)
Another form, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:
Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.
angels
kind beyond words
they protect and forgive
and make feelings of blissfulness
cherubim
