Cinquains the Epigram One

NOTE:AMERICAN CINQUAIN (an imagist stressed version)WAS DEVISED BY ADELAIDE CRAPSEY (William Soutar Epigrams are a similar wordplay form)

Tribute to William Soutar

Grew to manhood on the river Tay,
Writing poems ,most every day;
Cinquains,epigrams,whigmaleerie-
His diary of a dying man,left
Telling observations, for all to see.


A cinquain in Soutar style

Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.
