Cinquain for the March Challenge- Slavery (http://cloakedmonk.com)

Ok, this is my first crack at a Cinquain, hope it is correct


Slavery
Bondage, indenture
Toil, reaping, starving
Sadness, elation, confusion, hatred
Captivity

I don't know about the form as that's not my special subject but I like the choice of words and the path they take.

thanks, I was trying to find other styles of short poetry. I can always double check the way to do it. The thought is there to ponder on though.

I'm not familiar with this form of poetry; what are the guidelines for writing it? Sad imagery, btw. And beautiful.

Definition of Cinquain Poetry Type and Term

Cinquain Poetry Type has five lines.

Line 1 is one word (the title)
Line 2 is two words that describe the title.
Line 3 is three words that tell the action
Line 4 is four words that express the feeling
Line 5 is one word that recalls the title

American poet Adelaide Crapsey created the cinquain based on the Japanese haiku



Example of Cinquain Poetry Type

I appreciate your effort cloakedmonk. Re-write can only cause the star to shine brighter.

Thank you Buddha3074 for making it quit clear since I'm striving to comprehend poetic structure.

I learned cinquain differently (22 syllables arranged in lines of 2,4,6,8 and 2 syllables, respectively, for lines one through five) but this is an interesting version I'll have to poke at later. Well used for this prompt.
