I need help writing several poems!

[ze_better]

So I have to write some poems for a high school prohject. And unfortunately I am terrible at writing them. I have already wrote some but I have much more to go.These are the ones remaining:

(They can each be on any topic and besides the first one, the lengths of the other ones are not important. Also it doesn't even have to be a good poem.)

1. 6-10 lines of Iambic Pentameter (Blank Verse)
2. A Cinquin Poem
3. A Diamond Poem
4. A Sonnet Poem
5. A Haiku Poem

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hi there!

1) The traditional CINQUAIN is based on a syllable count, there's a few different ways to write them, so for ease of playing the game of cinquain, let's play ...

line 1 - 2 syllables
line 2 - 4 syllables
line 3 - 6 syllables
line 4 - 8 syllables
line 5 - 2 syllables

so 2/4/6/8/2

time traveler
where should you go?
this place is twice as vast
do you go north or is it south?
do tell!


2) a HAIKU is usually 5 then 7 then 5
these are two examples one I wrote earlier


senryu of wine

sobreity slips
precipitated and flings
rioja to red
or there is another one:


for what is this life
you speak of in such a voice?
water and air Sir


3) A Diamond Peom is poem that contains sinlge words and is shaped like a diamond:

word
sharp precise decent
swift direct meaningfull attributed
clarity diversity sensibility imagination sharp
clever consistant obvious
consistant forward
concise

So... are you actually asking us to write your poems for you? If so then you probably deserve 5/10 for initiative and 0/10 for effort.

There are plenty of sites on the internet that will give you the nuts and bolts of each poetic form. But do yourself a favour, if you're looking for someone to do your homework for you ask yourself what you'd get out of the deal other than full marks for cheating.
