g, Just & Jamie.......

I tried to write this as a cinquain but not sure if it is. I understand that each line should contain a certain amount of syllables....2-4-6-8-2 in that order. I'm not sure if there are any other requirements. Anyway, with just the basic syllable rule this is, I believe, a cinquain.

Mike, I don't know how I missed this. This is a formal Cinquain and done very well. An informal cinquain is also 5 lines but the word is counted instead of the syllable.

line 1 is 1 word, 2 is 2 words, 3 is 3 words, 4 is 4 words and 5 is one word. Also, lots of fun. Panne
