Cinquain Exposed

Cinquain, 
a clever thing,
 if you’re able to master.
 And if not then why bother, use
 another.


Cinquain, 
modern form
now shown here.
Just another type of
poetry 


The first one is of the traditional form and the second is of the modern form, or at least that's what I'm hoping

Yes, there are two forms, and since I am not by a reference tool, I can only guess that you did it correctly . I know one goes by syllable count and the other by number or words, right? This was a fun post you did on cinquains. they are good poems for young people to try!
