Frenzied
storm-brewed breakers
wild alley cats that leap
with outstretched claws and loudly screech
at me

Example of Traditional Cinquain:
November Night
Listen . . .
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall.
(may show more than 5 lines but that is a formatting issue--POEM MUST HAVE 5 LINES)
American poet Adelaide Crapsey created the cinquain[sing-KANE]-based on the Japanese haiku- around the turn of the century
