Mother's Day cinquain

For my mom's Mother's Day gift this year I went the handmade route. I made her a cute little hanging plaque with a poem I wrote just for her. Unfortunately I forgot to scan it before I gave it (sorry!). In case you don't know, a cinquain is a 5 line poem that goes like this:

one word (noun)
two adjectives about the noun
three verbs about the noun
a four-word phrase about the noun
another word for the noun

Mine went like this:


Mom
artistic, kind
listening, accepting, loving
always there for me
Friend
I love cinquains because you can easily write a wonderful poem by following this simple "recipe."
Hope you bless a mom in your life with something happily handmade.
