[PREFACE: A cinquain is a five-line poem in which the consecutive lines have 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables. In a garland cinquain, six cinquains are combined into a larger poem, as in the example below. The last cinquain is made up of lines from earlier stanzas.]
Fierce storms
Our road shuts down
The plow won’t come for days
Snow vacation, smiling children
Laughter
White world
Good packing snow
Snowmen and snowball fights
Dodging among the Norway Pines
Warriors
Christmas
Two days to go
Dad and I, out to the road
We chop down an evergreen tree
Massive
Driveway
Night basketball
A desk lamp lights the hoop
Playing Twenty-One on the ice
Hook shot
Slick road
Sled tied to car
My dad drives twenty-five
Pulled behind, we scream like banshees
Hearts pound
Fierce storms
Good packing snow
Dad and I, out to the road
Playing Twenty-One on the ice
Hearts pound
