(Didactic) Cinquain poetry applies the word count scheme 1-2-3-4-1. More specifically, 1 noun in the first line that serves as the title, then 2 adjectives, 3 verbs ending in “-ing”, a 4 word phrase (another option is a full sentence with more than 4 words), and, finally, 1 synonym or more specific word for the title.
Title Meaning: Four close friends and co-owners of a successful company must face the music with the IRS- by choosing one amongst themselves to be the fall guy (or gal) to serve the mandated 7 year prison sentence. How will they decide and who will it be?
