Rainbow Roof: A French Cinquain*

Rainbow Roof: A French Cinquain*

Eight colors live inside our home–
dad’s strong blue while mom’s bright yellow
six siblings have diff’rent dye-tones.
Our roof serves as our own rainbow
where God’s faithful love lives and glow.

Today, I challenge you to write a poem that takes the form of a family portrait. You could write, for example, a stanza for each member of your family.

*French Cinquain

The Traditional French Cinquain in the style of Victor Hugo is:

• in English most often written in iambic tetrameter but can also be written in iambic pentameter.
• stanzaic, written in any number of cinquains. (5 line stanzas)
• rhymed with varying rhyme schemes, most often ababb, or abaab or abccb.
