Cinquain Poem's    

"And if the many sayings of the wise 
Teach of submission I will not submit 
But with a spirit all unreconciled 
Flash an unquenched defiance to the stars.."

Didactic Cinquain's     

           Squirrel
      Carmel brown
 Beady eyes starring
Intent and aware sniffs 
         Chattering

             Deer
       Mocha coat
  Alert ears standing 
A twigs snaps yonder
             Bolts

          Flurries
      White screen
  Wet clammy falling
Its visibility often poor
         Squalls

             Wheat
        Golden spun
   From below climbing
Hardy stalks proudly sway
             Cereals

Traditional Cinquain's     

             Self loss
        Own deception 
      Unwilling to admit
His true fear of being alone
            Deep pain
