Cinquain poems...

We did them today for our district poetry contest...hopefully one of my kiddos will win something.  I'll scan a couple tonight and post them, because they were SO cute (especially the pictures).  If you're not sure what a cinquain is, it follows this format.

Title
two describing words
three verbs
four feeling words (or a four word 'feeling' phrase)

Here are some that my students wrote today.

Lizard
Orange and yellow
Scare, run, eat
It makes me happy.

Grila (Gorilla)
Fury and gray
Climbs, swings, hangs
It makes me excited!
Grila

Lion
Yellow and brown
Jump, eat, chase
It makes me silly.
