I thought I was done with my Valentines designs, but found some cinquains I had written in my journal about passion.
So, it sparked an idea for a design, plus I got to thinking about how much fun cinquains are to create and it prompted this journal prompt!

A cinquain is a type of poetry and has a variety of patterns that can be used to create them. What I use is the modern cinquain which is based on a word count with each line using words of a certain type:

Line 1 - is a noun or name of the subject
Line 2 - two words describing the subject
Line 3 - three words (singular list of words) describing actions relating to the subject
Line 4 - Four words as a sentence describing a feeling relating to the subject
Line 5 - another word referring back to the first word.

My subject was Passion so my cinquain became:

Passion
Emotional Response
Intense, Desire, Fever
You Rock My World
Fire

Here is a reference to a variety of patterns that can be used to create cinquains. They are a lot of fun and sometimes when I sit down to write in my journal, I have a word or subject but instead of stream of consciousness writing or pages of dribble, I’ll create a cinquain to express my feelings.
They are great to use in art projects or scrapbooking!

So, as a journal prompt, try your hand at a cinquain with a Valentines related theme! Enjoy and share your cinquain in a comment…I would love to read them!

Oh, yes…have to show the outcome of the Passion Heart Cinquain design
