Her trust
is bond of love.
He never puts on stake.
He finds nothing more important
than her.

Cinquain is a form of poetry that is very popular because of its simplicity. It was created by American poet Adelaide Crapsey about 100 years ago, and is similar to Japanese poetic forms, such as haiku and tanka.

1. Cinquains are five lines long.
2. They have 2 syllables in the first line, 4 in the second, 6 in the third, 8 in the fourth line, and just 2 in the last line.
3. Cinquains do not need to rhyme, but you can include rhymes if you want to.
