Editing Cinquain (section)

==Didactic cinquain==
{{Unreferenced section|date=March 2022}}
The didactic cinquain is closely related to the Crapsey cinquain. It is an informal cinquain widely taught in elementary schools and has been featured in, and popularized by, children's media resources, including ''[[Junie B. Jones]]'' and [[PBS Kids]]. This form is also embraced by young adults and older poets for its expressive simplicity. The prescriptions of this type of cinquain refer to word count, not syllables and stresses. Ordinarily, the first line is a one-word title, the subject of the poem; the second line is a pair of adjectives describing that title; the third line is a three-word phrase that gives more information about the subject (often a list of three [[gerund]]s); the fourth line consists of four words describing feelings related to that subject; and the fifth line is a single word synonym or other reference for the subject from line one.<br />

<blockquote>
Snow<br />
Silent, white<br />
Dancing, falling, drifting<br />
Covering everything it touches<br />
Blanket
