EasterThe above poem is a Didactic Cinquain. This form is not about syllable count, stressed syllables or meter. Instead it is about word count. The first line has a single word to indicate the title and the subject of the poem. The second line contains 2 words that are adjectives to describe the 1st line. This is followed by the 3rd line containing a 3 word phrase that give insight or information on the subject. The 4th line is 4 words describing the feelings on the subject followed by the last line consisting of a single word which is a synonym or other reference for the subject. Yeah, kind of a lot of rules but still easier than iambic pentameter!
Today is the first day after Easter. We are basking in the joy of Easter Sunday and still recovering from the feasting. There was food in abundance. There was gathered family. There were games and laughter and everyone had a great time. My 9 pound ham was devoured. I think there is probably enough for a couple sandwiches and the bone will become part of some bean soup. I think that by Wednesday there won't be any leftovers in the refrigerator. I suppose that is a good thing...

I am glad you were able to have food and fun with family. I truly feel those are some of the best times.
They are! I'm sure the people who spent lots of money to take the family to Aruba had fun but our memories will be just as good and cost us next to nothing!!!
It sounds like a lovely Easter!
It was wonderful. The food and the time spent with family. There were 5 of the cousins there and they all got to catch up...
