Sin-Quaint (Cinquain)

Today my English teacher forced-*ahem*-made my class do poetry. We did a weird thing called Cinquain. It has a format (OMG) that's like this:

First line: 2 syllables
Second Line: 4 syllables
Third line: 6 syllables
Fourth line: 8 syllables
Fifth line: 2 syllables

Here's some examples:

Adam's Cinquain

Fire,
Consumes, Destroys,
Spreading, Burning, Killing,
Making People Die Everyday,
Ashes

Karthik's Cinquain (Revised)

Nature,
Growing, Lively,
Dissolving, Transforming,
Pollution has become rampant,
Go Green!

Robin's Cinquain

Rainfall,
Tip-tap, tip-tap,
Cleaning, Clearing, Cooling,
Gives us water, Provides us life,
Puddles.

Razin's Cinquain
???

Our Team's Cinquain

Physics,
Amazes, awesome,
Falling, Diving, Flying,
Newton's three laws are on Motion,
Nuclear
!
That's all I have to offer for now. Soon I'll post more Lit stuff and be sure to check it out!
