Cinquains

          Cinquains are poems of five lines.  The first line is the title of the poem, (the noun that you are writing about).  The second has two adjectives that you feel best describe your noun.  The third has three verbs that describe what the noun does.  The fourth line is a four word statement that goes along with the noun, and the last is your first line repeated.  Here are three examples of Cinquains by yours truly.
