#3 Ponies & Poetry in Motion – Cinquain

LyonHeart 3135 West 22nd St., Kearney

A Cinquain is a five-lined poem (hence the name) and is a favorite poetic form for many children because, as one said: “They are easy and fun to write and they don’t require a whole lot of words!” This unique poem also reinforces basic grammatical parts of speech as demonstrated by our very own horses.
