Cinquains

Part of a balanced breakfast.

Line 1: one word to name the subject tree

Line 2: two words to describe it tall, green

Line 3: three action words about it growing, reaching, standing

Line 4: a four or five word phrase describing the subject (a thought, not a complete sentence) a witness to the past

Line 5: one word that means the same thing as the first word, or a word that sums it all up. future

I had a cinquain, but I hated it.

That wasn't a cinquain.

Neither was that.

or that.

oh man. when i started mine, yours was still up. now mine looks stupid.

and if i hadn't had to do all the work of researching (never knew much about sean penn or his new movie idea), then i would've 'gotten' it a lot sooner--it seems like it was a good cinquain?

(mine's certainly not, so please put yours back up?)

My fear was that you, Joy, would scour the underbelly of Entertainment Weekly's website for
any information about Sean Penn and you'd be subjected to...Sean Penn, and no one needs to do that voluntarily. It's sort of like purposely trying to eat a lit candle.

Sorry, it's gone for good now. I'll think up another one soon.
