Cinquain is a small poem of just five lines. Adelaide Crapsey developed the cinquain; it has a strict structure based on syllable count. Crapsey criterion for a cinquain is five lines of accentual-syllabic verse, in which the lines comprise, in order, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1 stresses and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables. Crapsey always titled her cinquains, effectively utilizing the title as a sixth line. A cinquain depends on strict structure and intense physical imagery to communicate a mood or feeling.

Why, why
Are you killing
The unborn female child
She is the future of our race
Stop now.
