How About a Challenge?

| 5 Comments

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a challenge on 20 Lines. Is anyone up for another?

Let’s do a variation on the cinquain. It goes like this:

Line one: 2 syllables
Line two: 4 syllables
Line three: 6 syllables
Line four: 8 syllables
Line five: 2 syllables

I’ll be thinking about it and posting separately. Hoping to see yours.

    • Nancy, I’m not very techie, and I’m afraid I don’t know how to do it. Can you post it there? If not, would you mind if I posted it for you? The only thing is that it would show up under my name. I would be sure to credit you by name. Let me know.
