Cinquains

A 'pointless' conversation led me to discover a new form of poetry. Not that I know anything of the art form but here goes.

A cinquain is a five line poem. Following certain rules.

Line 1:

one word
(subject or noun)

Line 2:

two words
(adjectives) that describe line 1

Line 3:

three words
(action verbs) that relate to line 1

Line 4:

four words
(feelings or a complete sentence) that relates to line 1

Line 5:

one word
(synonym of line 1 or a word that sums it up)

i used this site to create my own. Try it out if you will.
Here's what i got,

newspapers
black white
read fold throw
useful yet simply pointless
life


post ure own cinquains in the comments section.



ps: friend mentioned in above post wants a credit line. So here's a shout out to Janani.
