Today's Prompt is Didactic cinquain

The didactic cinquain is also closely related to the Crapsey cinquain. It is an informal cinquain widely taught in elementary schools and has been featured in, and popularized by, children's media resources, including Junie B. Jones and PBS Kids. This form is also embraced by young adults and older poets for its expressive simplicity. The prescriptions of this type of cinquain refer to word count, not syllables and stresses. Ordinarily, the first line is a one-word title, the subject of the poem; the second line is a pair of adjectives describing that title; the third line is a three word phrase that gives more information about the subject; the fourth line consists of four words describing feelings related to that subject; and the fifth line is a single word synonym or other reference for the subject from line one.
The form of the didactic cinquain can be seen in the following untitled poem by Aaron Toleos:^[1]

The Ballad of T.T.Thomas

He was born in a big red barn

with the hay and the cows

where he shared his daily meals

with siblings and the sows

Each day he gained new confidence

his girth widely did grow

soon came the Autumn time

when his purpose did show

The farmer took him to the shed

a frightened little beast

and when he brought him back out

T.T. Thomas was a feast

Here lies T.T. Thomas
he toiled in the garden all day
and because he was only a turkey
we ate him on Thanksgiving day.

We loved The Turkey Thomas
how tender and juicy was he
now our only concern is
what Christmas dinner will be.

LOL  Had fun AGAIN !!!

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
