Hi, I had to write a cinquain poem for English class...I'm not sure if I did it right...Any feed back, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:) Best Friend, Funny, Honest, kind, Makes me laugh, tells me all, She lied, hurt me, left me, killed me, Traitor.

If I could suggest, going back through it and correcting the punctuation. Right now with all the commas it's like a big run on sentence. And if your teacher is as grammatically correct as mine that would deduct points! Another thing I think that would make your piece sound a lil better and make it look fuller would be to create full sentences. Something like so: "My best friend, Was funny, honest, and kind. She made me laugh, told me all. Since then, she's lied, she's hurt me, she's left me, she killed me. Traitor."

OpenStudy (aurorab):

with the repetition of "she's" it sounds more like your blaming her. It just gives a faster pace, a hurt pace from your tone. Make sense?

OpenStudy (alexalc):

yeah...is that ok?

OpenStudy (aurorab):

Is what? I don't understand your question now,, sorry

OpenStudy (alexalc):

Is it ok that I use the repetition of she? does it did with the poem?

OpenStudy (aurorab):

Oh yes definitely! The cinquain poems only outline is to be 5 verses and can't rhyme.
