eap(eep) is a list cinquain where L1 is a statement followed by rhymed L2-5 that amplify the statment with words introduced by 'in the' by the ' of the'.I labelled this an eap after Edgar Allan Poe as it is inspired by sililoqy in this format in the conclusion of his essay Poetic Principle.
A couple of examples -
eap-BEAUTY
A poet see beauty:
in the field of corn
in the mist-filled dawn
in the face care-worn
in the image still-born
eap -ART
The artist creates art:
with the portrait passe
in the still life display
of the abstract soufle
in the objets trouve
Seagulls
winged scavengers
cleaning coastal waters
loud, extremely quarrelsome birds
scroungers.
Lovers
find harmony
in intimate musings
sensual melodies ~ song by
sweethearts

Cinquain
The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count. Twenty-Two syllables in the following pattern (2-4-6-8-2): five lines, one word in the first line, two in the second line, etc.
The modern cinquain is based on a word count of words of a specific type.
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.
You who?
I think your name
Might be who are you think
I am you standing in front of
An image am I You
I am fractured
Am I
Inside
The mirror i
See some slight modesty
I am that somebody no one
Knows my rejection in the old
broken mirror image
I am you who
I am
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.
NOTE:AMERICAN CINQUAIN (an imagist stressed version)WAS DEVISED BY ADELAIDE CRAPSEY (William Soutar Epigrams are a similar wordplay form)
I fall
into the deep
uncharted otherworld
of untime. I can't hear your cry.

Silence
Old Oak tree cries
Where fallen heroes lie
White clouds in honor move

April 9 Love Cinquain
My Love
Haunting my dreams
Nightly talking to me
Then walked out of the dreams into
my Life
April 10 Nightmare Cinquain
Nightmares
Endless fears all night long
Can’t escape running from these dreams
All night
April 10th Nightmares
Endless fears all night long
Huge Monsters chasing me
Hideous Creatures from Hell Itself
Monsters
Fiendish Hell hounds escaped Banishes
screaming bloody murder
they chase me all the way
I die
April 9 Love Cinquain
My Love
Haunting my dreams
Nightly talking to me
Then walked out of the dreams into
my Life
April 10 Nightmare Cinquain
Nightmares
Endless fears all night long
Can’t escape running from these dreams
All night
April 10th Nightmares
Endless fears all night long
Huge Monsters chasing me
Hideous Creatures from Hell Itself
Monsters
Fiendish Hell hounds escaped Banishes
screaming bloody murder
they chase me all the way
I die
Comforter
bare ready
fluffing, patting, throwing
the finishing, touches,pillows
bed
a tree may stand strong
its top can kiss the skies
the stem too big to image
but down there unseen
its roots’ ends are withered
