Do you have some Alka-seltzer?<\/p>\n
Alas!<\/p>\n

Adelaide Crapsey in\u00a01911: a usually unrhymed poem, often in iambic pentameter,\u00a0written in 5 lines of 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables in each line.\u00a0Crapsey’s cinquains were titled, and appealed to the\u00a0structure of the haiku, ideally building up to a ‘turn’ in the\u00a05th line or just before it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A common variant of the form, sometimes called the\u00a0‘didactic cinquain’ as it is used to teach grammar, does not\u00a0necessarily follow the syllable count rules, but has the\u00a0following criteria for each line:<\/p>\n
Line 1: the title, a single-word noun.<\/p>\n
Line 2: two words, adjectives describing the title.<\/p>\n
Line 3: three words, verbs that e.g. state what the title can\u00a0do.<\/p>\n
Line 4: four words, a phrase which describes a feeling or\u00a0effect related to the title.<\/p>\n
Line 5: a single word, a synonym of the title, or a word\u00a0relating to it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Food<\/p>\n
Delicious, nutritious<\/p>\n
Grow, nurture, flourish<\/p>\n
Eating is comforting.<\/p>\n
Yum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
