Make A Cinquain Bookmark

Cinquain is a five-line poem or stanza.  It comes from the French word "cinq" which means "five".  This kind of poem originated  when an  American writer named Adelaide Crapsey of Stanford, Connecticut took an interest in expressing her thoughts in short lines inspired by the Japanese haiku and tanka. Several forms of cinquain have evolved since this poetry form became popular.

Adelaide Crapsey (1878-1914) 

In my class, I recommend this cinquain form:
1st LINE:                  One word ( or Noun Title)
2nd LINE:                2 Adjectives describing the 1st word
3rd LINE:                 3 words with the form V+ing (referring back to the ist word)
4th LINE:                  a sentence or phrase with 4 words describing or referring back to the 
                                    1st word
5th LINE:                   One word synonymous to the 1st word or one-word description of the
                                    1st word

Here are some examples of cinquians turned into bookmarks from my students:
