| 释义 | cinquain poetry a five-line stanza. The American poet Adelaide Crapsey (Crapsey, Adelaide) (1878–1914), applied the term in particular to a five-line verse form of specific metre that she developed. Analogous to the Japanese verse forms haiku and tanka, it has two syllables in its first and last lines and four, six, and eight in the intervening three lines and generally has an iambic (iamb) cadence. An example is her poem “November Night”: Listen… With faint dry sound Like steps of passing ghosts, the leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees And fall. |
