Pumpkin Cinquain

Maren wrote a cinquain as a school project. As I just discovered this poem form myself a couple months ago, I am so proud! The format of a cinquain (or five-line poem) is as follows:

Line 1: One word, subject or noun
Line 2: Two words, adjectives that describe line one
Line 3: Three words, action verbs that relate to line one
Line 4: Four words, feelings or a complete sentence that relates to line one
Line 5: One word, synonym of line 1 or a word that sums it up

She made a word bank, then found a thesaurus word for each word she had thought of. She made a rough draft. And here is the final product. I love to see the way her mind works.
