The Cinquain Prompt Is Coming.

May 12, 2025May 12, 2025 Ronovan Poetry Adelaide Crapsey, Cinquain, Poetry, Poetry Challenge, Poetry Prompt

It’s time for a new poetry style and prompt that begins next week.

The Cinquain or more precisely the American Cinquain.

My Example:

Old Days

See how
The sun rises,
Breaking over beauty,
Filling the senses with heaven
Then fades.

You can see the pattern above is as follows…

5 Lines with each a given number of syllables as

2
4
6
8
2

An iambic foot with the stresses by line being

1
2
3
4
1

For the first line of the poem there will be two syllables with one stressed syllable and that one being the second one, which establishes the pattern.

The Cinquain most commonly used is the American Cinquain created by Adelaide Crapsey. Although she did not write down specific rules for composing one of her Cinquains, we have a form from people who have studied her poetry and have found commonalities in her works, those being the syllable and iambic foot, stresses pattern, although the iambic foot is not a requirement. The other characteristic is storytelling, compacting a feeling or scene into a few short lines and syllables.

Two Adelaide Crapsey Cinquain poems:

November Night

Listen . . .
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
And fall.

Trapped

Well and
If day on day
Follows and weary year
On year . . . and ever days and years . . .
Well?

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple

Can’t believe I’ve done 100 weeks of these. Wondering about a new challenge on Wednesdays. I never know what I’ll do next.

That way other people can visit your post and check out your poem.
You can also put the link of this challenge in your post to let your followers know where to go if they want to participate. This is called a Pingback. This is not mandatory to join in or to put your post link in the comments. Click HERE to find out how to do a Pingback.
Reblogging is great as well.

Some people like to copy and paste the challenge image into their posts. That’s okay with me.

Sites to help:

RhymeZone.com
Thesaurus.com
Merriam-Webster.com Use this site for syllables. I’ve used several online counters and too many have given different counts for the same word, so I use the dictionary now. Also, in some parts of the English speaking world, the syllables may come out in the spoken language a bit differently. And that’s okay. Write to enjoy, too learn, and yes, try to get the syllables right, but above all create and enjoy.

An example of an abba/accddc décima:

On soft breeze a divine bouquet
her invitation is discrete,
to imbibe in her gifts so sweet,
and my heart with joy must obey.

Eternal beasts come into play.
Distance is an icy lover,
these shivers I cannot cover.
Time will tell the battles end.
I’ll travel along that soft wind,
to love to rediscover.

If you like, there is a Décima Challenge here each Wednesday.

Here is the quick and perhaps easier description of a Décima Poem:

I’ve had a much-valued part of my poetry family let me know that my description might not be clear enough, so I’ve come up with this. There are 10 lines (stanza) of poetry, but unlike other poetry that rhymes there is a strict set rhyming pattern, we must stick to.
In addition, each line must only have 8 syllables.
The rhyme pattern is;
a
b
b
a
a
c
c
d
d
c

But remember, if you want to be a slight bit different, you can do the four lines of abba, then the six lines of accddc.
