Since April is Poetry Month...

Our homeschool blogging friends at Once Upon A Family recently posted this really fun exercise, which is perfect for Poetry Month :

"A cinquain is a five lined poem that are written in many different ways but here is the format that we wrote them in today.

Line 1 - one word that tells what your subject is
Line 2 - two words that describe your subject
Line 3 - three action words that tell about your subject
Line 4 - a four word phrase that expresses a feeling about your subject.
Line 5 - one word that is a synonym for your subject."

To get Mikro motivated, I had to compose a couple:
