Cinquiano on Horses

Cinquiano on Horses

Horses,
talking through face, ears and motion.
Oft it flares to shouting,
all emotion.
Moving!





The Cinquiano is a variation on the Cinquain. It is a single stanza poem of five lines, totalling 22 syllables. The syllable count is 2 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2 syllables per line. (The Cinquain has a 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 2 syllable count.)
I had originally written this as a Cinquain. Now, for the 'A Poem A Day Contest' I have made it into a Cinquiano and changed a weak line. It's much more to my liking now. The Cinquiano fits actually better with this little poem than the Cinquain.
