During this last month of HomeWords, we’re printing a series of longer cinquain sequences that explore the idea of “home.” A number of poets really let their hems out in this project, some of them saying they’ve become “addicted” to the tiny cinquain. (I understand!) It’s a little like writing on a postage stamp. The American Cinquain is just 22 syllables divided among five lines in this order: 2, 4, 6, 8, and back to 2.
