- Cinquino is seems to me is a gimmicky invented verse form that reverses the syllable count of the Crapsey Cinquain. It was found in a book on poetry for teachers and was created by a 20th century American educator James Neille Northe.The Cinquino is:
- a poem in 5 lines.
- syllabic, 2/8/6/4/2 syllables per line.
- unrhymed
I Am alone
time flies on flitting fairy wings
up down and all around
I am here now
alive

Thanks to Judi Van Gorder for the above.
My example
So, Multiprocess (Cinquino)
time flies
unless you’re waiting for the pot
to boil, you all know that
it’s relative
in fact
