Congrats Lee on your sweet success with this brilliant beauty.. most all of us had issues with this form..tricky and misleading when first read to coordinate the lines.. sometimes shorter forms are harder to create for than the longer ones.. I am a Rhyme girl..so I can ramble on..haha..

Thanks so much Linda- Marie. I didn't have problem with a Cinquain, I won using this form before. It was the combination of the two types that I found confusing and the instructions just... well it doesn't matter now. Just frustrating when you spend so much time on something. Thanks Lee

Line 1 has one word (the title). Line 2 has two words that describe the title. Line 3 has three words that tell the action. Line 4 has four words that express the feeling Line 5 has one word which recalls the title.

Me again, just re-read PS and it outlines two Cinquains and if you check blog Nette said she wanted 1 line= one word- 2 syllables 2nd line = two words- 4 syllables etc... so it was a combo of both, guess I just misunderstood. Lee

Oh, I am so confused as i used the instructions from Poetry Soup then i read the blog and there was utter chaos. So I will leave as is and if I lose due to form, so be it. Have a look at the blog as there are more ways than one to write it... You are probably correct but I spent a long time on it and leaving for a few days now. Thanks for the heads up. Lee

I kiss my fingertips MmmmmmmAW!!! and then open my hand to you! Great work, Lee. Heads up: I think the title is supposed to be pulled from the first line in the cinquain AND not capitalized. I might be getting this mixed up with another contest. Let me check!
