Crapsey's Cinquan
My name is Jamie Lee Hamann and I started writing poetry on Hubpages back in 2013. Every year I share a poem a day in April.
Adelaide Crapsey creator of the Cinquan.
Crapsey's Cinquan
She named
her form Cinquan,
Adelaide Crapsey,
neither Adelaide or Crapsey
would do.
And left
in her poems
very fast and unruly life
organized in syllabic form
her lungs.
She died
at thirty-six
Adelaide Crapsey
creator of American
Cinquan.
Climax
that each line builds
as it grows without rhyme
five lines of two, four, six, eight, two
with sound.
