Blog 155 – A Cinquain for Sybil by Ms Paige Turner
Here is a cinquain:
Sybil,
Bold, poetic.
Loving, writing, thinking …
Of you, dear friend
Sybil.
The first line is a name.
The second line is two adjectives describing the first line.
The third line is three verbs ending in ‘ing’
The fourth line is a sentence of four words or more. (My fourth line is not a complete sentence but I cheat.)
The fifth line is one word.
That’s the technique. Here’s the emotion. Sybil has had a stroke. I have been enriched by knowing this wonderful woman. Like Shakespeare, I would be diminished by the not knowing of this person. I can’t wait to see her on my next trip to Cape Town.
Creative Ink Tuesday ‘Get Inspired’ classes are back on their new term with a waiting list and an all consuming theme of ‘Food’. The ‘Get that Book Out of You’ arrangement has some spaces. Email me if interested.
Had look that up but here is my contribution – completed on the train

Holy, contrary
Glowing, showing, crowing
A right goody two shoes, two faced
