Class cinquain

On Thursday, December 18, the poetry class at Aristotle University in Thessaloniki and I composed a group cinquain.  Here's the format we were using: 1st line- one word that names the topic
                                                                                 2nd line- two words that appeal to the senses
                                                                                 3rd line- three words that describe an action
                                                                                 4th line- two words that name an emotion
                                                                                  5th line- one word that is a new name for the topic

    Since Professor Kitsi was recording the final version on the board, I have only my sketchy notes for what we came up with. Here is my best recollection, including two alternatives for very different endings. Dr. Kitsi or any of the students can feel free to correct me.

        morning
   warm messiness
drinking coffee kisses
   dizzy tenderness  (or tender dizziness)
       hangover         (or love)
