A crow black's darkest hue, jet wings aflame with night, obsidian and ebony, lit, here.

About this poem:
Stresses Per Line
The first line has one stress, which was usually iambic meter with the first syllable unstressed and the second stressed. Line two has two stresses. Line three has three stresses. Line four has four stresses. Line five has one stress.
Syllables Per Line
Following the invention of this form, Crapsey made changes to the form and included a certain number of syllables per line.
Line one had two syllables. Line two had four syllables. Line three had six syllables. Line four had eight syllables. Line five had two syllables.
There are other forms of cinquain but I liked this one.
