Believe me or not, everyone's a born poet.
(hohoho. now put away that skeptical look and take out a piece of paper!)

I learnt this interesting thingy in class called the cinquain which is a 5-line poem that describes anything. And all of us were made to write a poem based on this structure:

title (noun)

____ ____ (describe title)

____ ____ ____ (action)

____ ____ ____ ____ (feelings/complete sentence)

____ (synonym of title)

Everyone ended up with really random stuff but it was fun doing it! Mine went...

ice cream

chocolate, vanilla
lick, slurp, melt
om nom nom nom
dessert!

Creative writing 101: nothing is ever too random or crappy :)
