DaY FiVe


From NaPoWriMo: A cinquain is a poem that employs stanzas with five lines. Each line has a certain number of accented or stressed syllables, and a certain number of overall syllables per line. So the syllable count is 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 ad the stress count is 1, 2, 3, 4, 1. I don't understand how you get the stress count as each one that reads the poem may stress different words, but...maybe that's just me...

You can't
Because I said
So what are you gonna
Do something or don't do something
You can't
