This week, Lichtenstein class have been looking at cinquain poems.
We learnt that cinquain comes from the French word “cinq” which means five. This links with the poem as a cinquain poem always contains five lines.
We created a cinquain poem about the Angel of Poplar as a class:
Angel
Unencumbered, memorable
Crying, praying, defending
A lonely, heartbreaking figure
Statue
We then had a go at writing our own cinquain about the Clock Tower. Here are two examples:
Clock
Ancient, fragile
Persecuting, representing, observing
Pondering and looking through
Building
By Masima
Clock
Unencumbered, ancient
Timing, ticking, towering
A lofty building standing
Architecture
By Abbas
