This week I had the opportunity to present a poetry workshop to some homeschoolers at the Avon Free Library. They were an attentive group and lots of fun to work with. They collectively wrote this cinquain about a thunderstorm, choosing this theme because they had all experienced a thunderstorm the night before. Cinquains typically don’t have titles.

Loud crash!

Lightning flashes.

Rain pours down from the sky.

Put your pillow over your head.

Kaboom!
