In humanities yesterday, we learned about two different types of poems. First we learned about haiku’s. Haiku’s are three lined poems. On the first line there are five syllables. On the second, eight, and on the third, five. Haiku’s are usually about nature, but they don’t have to be. Then, we learned about cinquain poems. There are three formats for cinquain poems.

Cinquain Type 1:

Line 1: 1 word

Line 2: 2 words

Line 3: 3 words

Line 4: 4 words

Line 5: 1 word

Cinquain Type 2:

Line1: 1 noun

Line 2: 2 adjectives

Line 3: 3 -ing words

Line 4: 1 phrase

Line 5: Another word for the noun

Cinquain Type 3:

Line1: 2 syllables

Line2: 4 syllables

Line 3: 6 syllables

Line 4: 8 syllables

Line 5: 2 syllables

After leaning about cinquians and haikus, we  wrote our own poems. The one I wrote was a cinquain type 3.
