Dad and Sister Seele,
You wanted to know what cinquains and couplets are. I will tell you.
A couplet is basicly two lines that rhyme and have the same rythm. For example:
If your first line has 5 sylables and the last word is tree, then your second line has to have 5 sylables with the last word rhyming with the word tree.
A cinquain is a poem that always has 5 lines. These are the 5 lines:
Line 1--Title (one noun)
Line 2--Description about the title (two adjectives)
Line 3--An action about the title (three verbs)
Line 4--A feeling about the title (a four-word phrase)
Line 5--Another word for the title (one-word synonym)
A CINQUAIN DOES NOT HAVE TO RHYME!
