Cinquains

I found a scrap of paper with these little poems called cinquains. The format is: first line-a noun, second line- adjectives describing the noun, third line-3 verbs ending in -ing, fourth line a 4-word phrase and last line one word. (may repeat the first word)

Two new year's poems

Resolution
easy, difficult
works, nags, sings
My resolution is unclear
2009


2009
new, untried
waiting, coming, looming
filled with clean days
year


Water
clean, clear
falling, roaring, crashing
cleans mind and body
Water

The 3rd line of the first one doesn't adhere to the rules.
Interesting though.
