Cinquain

Now, you may have read the title of my post and said, "Has Jess gone whack-o?" (who would be so silly as to think that anyhow!) But I'm sure you are still wondering, "What is a cinquain?" (I can just imagine Hoops and Yo-Yo making a card about this one...) Ok, so today I went down to Northwest Elementary and observed a reading class for Dr. U. Well, it turns out they were reading a biography about Pablo Picaso (his blue period turned rose when he met a girl). The teacher decided the 3rd graders were going to write a biography in a cinquian style and she gave me a sheet to try it myself. Here are the requirements:

Line 1: Name of partner.
Line 2: Two adjectives that describe your partner.
Line 3: Three verbs that describe your partner that end in -ing.
Line 4: Four words that express the feeling of your partner.
Line 5: One word that describes your partner other than his/her name.

Here is what I came up with:

Justin Smith
Devoted, Handsome
Cooking, Sleeping, Mowing
Always Desires God's Guidance
Perfect

Uh, according to the directions, j.smith, you're supposed to do this for your partner.

Didn't realize you felt that way...
