    Default What is the name of this type of poetry

    Let's do some poetry, this kind of poetry starts off with one word at the top, then the next line has two words that describe the top word, then 3 words that describe both top and bottom word, then 2 words describing the bottom word... then finally the bottom word, but I forget what they called it.

    A haiku is based on number of syllables isn't it? Closest I've heard of to the original post is a Cinquain, but it's:

    1 word
    2 words
    3 words
    4 words
    1 word

    Haiku is based on 3 lines, not 5. It has a fixed number of syllables in each line.
    Line 1: 5
    Line 2: 7
    Line 3: 5

    Mmm yeah the first isn't a haiku, bah you should have asked this about 5 years ago, if you did I would be able to tell you. It seems to have the style of a lymric somewhat but i don't think that is what it is.

    Cinquain


    Cinquain- a type of poetry in which the first line has one word,
    the second has two words describing the first line,
    the third line shows action with three words,
    the fourth line has four words that convey feeling,
    and the fifth line refers to line one.







    Closest I could come to the answer.
