Today, my inspiration vanity plate - CLAYART:
Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey. For further information, please read this article on Cinquain from the SP Quill Quarterly Magazine written by Deborah P. Kolodji.
Another form, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar is as follows. It can result in a stilted poem as it is taught in many schools, but it shouldn't be.
Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun

Resists cupped palms
Stroking, molding, pushing,
Coercing ruddy earth into
Warm mug.
