Quintine
This poetic form is a syllable-counting form (like haiku, senryu, tanka, sijo, etc). There are no restrictions on subject matter nor is there a rhyme scheme. It is a five line poem with the following syllable structure: L1 - 1 syllable L2 - 3 syllables L3 - 5 syllables L4 - 7 syllables L5 - 9 syllables Here is one of mine (3 stanzas) Gently Bow (A "love" poem in Quintines) I was fetal warmed within the folds of sunlit dunes of grandeur. I chased the curls of unlocked essence. I'm viewed smaller than grains transparent, telescoped, inward and still, balancing on floods of emotions. From Ararat, I'll try sun- bathing. Sending forth this bird of peace, I'll gently bow and apply sun-block. © Norman S. Pollack |

Daniel,
I like your quinitine efforts. I was also very hard-pressed to find any valuable information on the Internet regarding the Quintine poetic form. At the end of my remarks here are the only three links that have content on the Quintine -- and no real in-depth history of the form itself. Suffice it to say --- it really is a form. The best resource I have = my lesson plans from 1968 ~smile~. BTW --- a Quintina is a reverse-Quintine (which you actually used in your final one posted here in this thread. Daniel --- I still think I might have a few more forms in my notes that you haven't tried yet LOL. Links (though weak) >> there were a few others that were poetry forums like MM and PT but thought it best not to simply reference other sites: http://granolagirl.stumbleupon.com/tag/books/ http://www.angelfire.com/art/formsofpoetry...s.quintine.html Norm |

 Norm for posting this form.I was going to post two (like a Mirror Cinquain) as well as Daniel as done but now I know the reverse is called a 'Quintina'.  Daniel, I am particularly fond of this one: Grass flourishes like the days of man till hot wind passes over…. their place acknowledges them no more; Lovely! ~Cleo

Daniel & Cleo,
I loved the "simoley" quinite, Daniel and Cleo, your's certainly was excellent. Here's another of mine (and okay, okay --- I'll center it ~smile~: Distorted Reflections Lives are often the sad reflections… like the fun house distortions mirroring lies many paid to see. © Norman S. Pollack
