“The didactic cinquain is an informal cinquain. It is embraced for its expressive simplicity. There are four ways to write cinquain poems, based on words or syllables, and within that the types of words used.

Ordinarily for cinquain, 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.”

Line 1: One noun (title)
Line 2: 2 adjectives describing title
Line 3: 3 words ending in -ing
Line 4: one phrase
Line 5: one noun that is a synonym to the title

Other variations:

Words:

Line 1: one word (title)
Line 2: two words
Line 3: three words
Line 4: four words
Line 5: one word

Types of syllables:

Line 1: two noun syllables (title)
Line 2: four adjective syllables
Line 3: 6 verb syllables
Line 4: 8 syllables
Line 5: 2 synonym syllables

Writing a poem based on syllables alone uses the same order and amount of syllables as above but whether or not the word is a noun/verb/adjective/synonym does not matter.
