Shut It

Hello, Carrie,
I am so excited to see this! Yes! And what a great cinquain you've created with such strong feeling and energy. It is almost complete - just needs the fifth line with a word(s) containing 2 syllables that is a synonym to "silence." (Maybe insert your title there?)
I am so stoked with this! :)

Aside from sonnet and haiku I’m a dope about format and structures. I’ve got a metronome going in my head 24/7 so my natural inclination is toward 4 or 6 or 8 “beats” per line. Because those are the most common musical time signatures. 4/4, 3/4, 4/8. 6/8 is natural too. 5/4, 7/8, 9/8 total nightmare if you don’t count beats.

I love this poem Carrie. Just make sure YOU don’t forget who you’re not. That happens to me a lot. Less now but still.

I don't know much about different forms. but I know what I like, and I like this!

Nothing to suggest in the way of critique either.

I loved your poem and the type of style you are trying.
