Discuss The American cinquain is an unrhymed, five-line poetic form defined by the number of syllables in each line—the first line has two syllables, the second has four, the third six, the fourth eight, and the fifth two (2-4-6-8-2). They are typically written using iambs. Adelaide Crapsey′s ″November Night″ is a good example: Listen… With faint dry sound, Like steps of passing ghosts, The leaves, frost-crisp′d, break from the trees And fall.
