Hi guys.I have taken the Cinquain poetry format and adapted it to create a new style and fun challenge.
Below is the format to guide you as you write and also an example of a finished piece of work. It's just a bit of fun but I hope you all rise to the challenge.
THE FORMAT
1 word (the title)
2 words that describe the title
3 words that tell the action
4 words that expresses the feeling
1 word that recalls the title
2 words (adding one word to existing title)

Searching for the truth

Blue eyes
Pools of emotion
Crying through the night
Despair
Searching
Blue eyes crying
Colour faded through tears
Weeping
Stinging
Water colour
Blue eyes cease crying
Dried
Wiped
Moments relief
The pain paused
Eyes
I hope that everything is as clear as mud and that you let me know what you think.

RE: What inspires you?
I'm inspired by my moods, experiences, things that surround me, reading other poetry, and by people.
RE: poetically unlicensed....
I have no idea what you are talking about mr. stuffs! sestina sobriety? zany? and who the heck is Groucho Marx?
I think a new style is just waiting to be born - do you have any ideas? I read a piece about Fibonacci poems but it seems so impractical to write a poem where the sequence is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 etc...
life experiences
Hi everyoneWhat inspires me the most is my own life experiences
Sometimes positive and sometimes negative
However we must go on
It is easier said than done
My life has followed a pattern
Which I am trying to break
but that is not so successful
This time of year you are supposed to be in love
well guess what happens to me this time of year
It has been pretty consistent and I do not like it
But we must go on
Love to all
Come to Canada and visit
You are always welcome at my place
Peace and love to all
RE: What inspires you?
Mood is the biggest factor when I write. The weather greatly affects my mood swings which inevitably dictate where my pen will go.Grey skies, rain and early hours of the morning usually see me writing my darker works.
Sunshine pushes me towards descriptive nature pieces, and reminiscing over old flames tends to see a mixture of erotic and sad writings.
Hope that helps explain my inspiration.
RE: What inspires you?
Well, poetry for me is a reaction to my environment, locally and across the world......experiences influence me also...otherwise I try to capture the experience of others, like an actor in character and imagine other lives............What inspires you?
Just wondering about the different things that inspire people to write poetry. I myself find that some works of art do this for me. I'm also inspired by nature and music. There are times when emotional stress drives me to write, but the inspiration for the writing always comes from somewhere else.
poetically unlicensed....
I have written around 200 submissions on CS and aside from joining in on haiku and limericks, not once was I aware of any particular poetic form or style to use. I know little of prose popriety. For that matter, I know even less of sestina sobriety. Perhaps we might also enjoy creating new styles. I trust that we are mature and might be free to compose with fewer constraints than on 'Poet's Corner'. Not necessarily vulgar, mind you, nor sugar-coated, so as to not offend the sensibilities of the sensitive, just looser....with more abandon. It may be fun creating whacky, zany, impossible, scenarios. I like to laugh and I'm not even wearing a shirt in which to stuff. In parting I'll share my favorite Groucho Marx quote: 'I refuse to belong to any group that would have me as a member'.....Rick
Maya Angelou
May I suggest you all look up this wonderful poetess, now well into her late eighties, she is brilliant!. and a professor as well, she writes great stuff!
RE: Cinquain Poetry and its definition
Hi Stephen.... I have attempted this form before with 'jacket'....it was a fun expression.
Cinquain Poetry and its definition

Cinquain Poetry Type has five lines.
Line 1: is one word (the title)
Line 2: is two words that describe the title.
Line 3: is three words that tell the action
Line 4: is four words that express the feeling
Line 5: is one word that recalls the title
Example of Cinquain Poetry

Strong, Tall
Swaying, swinging, sighing

American poet Adelaide Crapsey created the cinquain based on the Japanese haiku
Hope you enjoy this post.

Thanks LadyBee for setting this up!! What a wonderful way to share thoughts and techniques around poetry!!
RE: What a wonderfull idea!
If you are keen to better understand and write poetry in the Haiku style, then I have placed a link below that will take you to a fantastic web site with information, teaching, rules and examples.Hope for some may be of use.
Stephen,
RE: What a wonderfull idea!
I think of the most wonderful words at the most inconvenient moments, in the shower, just before falling asleep or on waking - now how am I supposed to write those ones down? I started writing when I was trying not to fall apart at the beginning of my separation/divorce.. it was cathartic, now it's more fun and expressive only at times.
RE: What a wonderfull idea!
When I started writing poetry everything rhymed , then I felt my poetry was kinda immature, so I decided my stuff couldn't rhyme anymore . I suppose my stlye is free style , I hardly read other poets work and I don't research styles or techniques , so I just go for it.But I find, that reading novels helps me to write poetry .What a wonderfull idea!
Now all you poets I want all your information. Tell me everything you know. I am all ears and excited.
I have always thought of myself as a rhymer not a poet and have been reading up on poetry and the different styles lately and it can be scarey so I would love if people could post on here different poetry styles and tell what makes them that way.
