I’ve been at a poetry course tonight (with the marvellous Rommi Smith) and we’ve been talking about syllables. So we wrote a cinquain, a form which goes 2/4/6/8/2 syllables in each line, 22 in total…
Mine was written from a postcard illustrating a well known nursery rhyme:
Mary, Mary
It grows From neon beds: These luminescent suns Rising in your contrary eyes So dark.
