Mini-beast cinquain examples
Following my last post, here are two mini-beast, or creepy-crawly, cinquains I've written as examples. Views on cinquain rules seem to vary, and we must remember they're simply devices for expressing ideas through words, not laws laid down by gods! Follow, adapt or link in with the approach as you wish.
Butterfly
delicate, dainty
flitting, wandering, waltzing
adorner of summer skies
delight
This could be presented as a riddle, with questioning title like What am I? and a one-word metaphor for line one, like Insect or Floater; similarly with the next.
Slug
slimy, fat
feeling, feasting, flattening
devourer of garden flowers
pest
Happy image-building!
