Modified Cinquains

In continuing with our poetry introduction... and block classes...

We learned about cinquains today.  Well, a modified first step suggested in the book I am using...

Rather than counting syllables we started out by counting words.  I hadn't mentioned sticking to sort of a theme on each line...but they picked up on that rather quiclkly themselves.
