    It says soooooooo much in just the form allowed...It is quite good. I've yet to try this form, but am learning.

    i think of that a cinquain could nicely be poetic in case you pick it to be, and the reader will see it as such if formed that way. you have various room for exploration and that i come across they seem to be a smart gizmo to coach one the thank you to place in writing with much less particularly than extra words.. to declare the comparable situation. i come across the previous English types very stiff and annoying to examine, A cinquain is style of a potato chip you the two like them or no longer and now and returned they strengthen on you .. Haha, i'm sitting in Vancouver a/p waiting for my flight to Seattle, took a million hour and quarter-hour to get by using exams and to my gate. it is going to be an prolonged night i'm getting to cellular at 1030 day after today morning.. yikes!

    It's cool..I like it.. and it's pretty good for your first try..I really like the line 'Venom coursing thru his body'....keep writing and experimenting with forms.

    I don't care about t/ds I don't know why anyone would give them anyway.
