Cinquain Poem - Graveyard

(first line is title of poem)

Graveyard
Sleeping dead
Ghosts quietly creeping
Silent shivers, desperate glances
Such love in the leaving

Headstone
Deadly weight
Hushed creatures crawling
Transparent entities, obviously otherworldly
Pale signals in the night

The English teacher next door assigns a Poetry Notebook Project every year to her Creative Writing class. I have two students in my first hour that were complaining about/discussing the project yesterday. As a bit of a challenge to myself, I decided I would do the project too, as a creative exercise.

Mrs. M gives the students a specific outline of what she expects along with descriptions of 51 different types of poems. Students are asked to choose 20. Upon reviewing the information, I think I can do all 51. Now 52, since she gave me one more this morning.
