After asking form writing prompts from Ms. A, she gave me the instructions for a cinquain and then to free write about the experience of the process of writing the cinquain. I have never heard of this before and it sounded quite easy so i thought I would give it a try. Here goes.
A Cinquain
Baking
Fun, Easy
Gives people joy
Makes me feel peaceful
Create
Writing the cinquain was easy and it made me think about how I really feel about baking. Creating something with your own two hands that people love to eat and actually enjoy eating. After just writing the 5 short lines my mind is flooded with the images of creating brownies and cookies and cakes and the joy it gives people to recieive fresh baked goods. My youngest daughter makes the best banana bread that I have ever had. She did this at eleven. She is quite a good cook and can make very good homemade pot stickers. She makes the wrappers from scratch, they are really good. My last baking adventure was a new sugar cookie recipe and I made cookies for Easter shaped like chicks and eggs and bunnies. I took them all to work and they were gone by the end of the day. I made four dozen. I am still amazed about how the cinquain could create such a vast amount of thought from just five lines. I will definitely be trying this again. THANK YOU MS. A!!!!! for the idea. If anybody else reads this blog you have to try this it really is awesome! i am still thinking about my baking escapades and how they gave me such joy and peace. While your baking your mind is only on the process and getting it right. The measurements have to be exact or the whole recipe is a wash. But when it turns out right, you have created a thing of beauty. A 300 word blog in seconds, AMAZING!!
