Cinquain Poetry contest entry



-- ocean --
wild, powerful, 
crashing, lashing, thrashing -
shore receives almighty splashing
-- breakers --

Author Notes
Apart from the syllable requirement stated, I was unsure as to any other requirements of the cinquain form. I did a little googling, came across many varied tutorials and chose one to follow. The requirements are:

1. Line one begins with one vague or general one-word topic.
2. Line two includes two vivid/colourful adjectives.
3. Line three includes three -ing ending action words that fit the topic.
4. Line four is a four word phrase that captures the feel of the topic.
5. Line five is one word that is specific to the topic you chose in line one.

Breakers - A heavy sea wave that breaks into white foam on the shore.
