MY CINQUAINS
© John Peel 29/1/2015

Pointless…
A waste of time…
Why be bothered with it?
It’s not proper bush poetry –
Cinquain.

Why be
inflicted with
Adelaide Crapsey’s crap?
It isn’t really poetry –
Cinquain!

[Bob Pacey]

Cinquain!


Cinquain!

Cinquain!


Sounds Like a bullet bouncing off the brickwork ?

Well you did one John It's a bit like algebra I never knew how to do that either but I always had a go at it - it is about extending our horizons and just a challenge to get people thinking and writing, but you knew that and you were interested enough to Google it I see. I purposely didn't use Adelaide Crapsey's work as an example even though she seems to be held up as the expert on this form of poetry.

I reckon your Cinquain is pretty good to by the way. Well done

Funny stuff John

Clearly you love this form of poetry

Hi Maureen

No google used in this case, just a good memory and a quick check in a poetry book to see that I had the correct person (Adelaide Crapsey) as the originator of the Cinquain. As the inventor of the form, she should have a good knowledge of it.

Bob and Allan

Definitely not a fan of the Cinquain
