EAP-the list cinquain FORM

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
