Cinquains.

1.

Some Men

Have a liking

For wine, others for women,

Women and wine together are trouble

Pick one.



2.

Some Men

Chase girls for fun

At work and play,they stray.

True lovers are content with one.

Pure love.



3.

To tilt

At windmills, mad

But fun, milk sacred cows.

Pricked pomposity deflates, plop.

Tilt more.



4.

I write

or try in verse

to describe my beautiful thoughts,

but worsification was what

I wrote.

all beautiful. Pen more

These cinquians are vey good, especially the first one. I recently had to write a cinquian for a poetry project in my honors english course. I wish I had thes as examples. I stressed for hours to write a half-decant one. The first cathes my eye because it is a good lesson. You shouldn't get drunk with someone you like, because who knows what will happen. I have heard many times when someone raped his best friend because he was drunk. Also, I like the fourth one as well, but I don't quie understand what you are saying in the third poem. Could you explain that for me? Thanks. Great poems!
