This is based on a real life experience that I just had. Can you guess what happened?
It's a cinquain.
-Bra-
Ouchie!
Something poked me
right in my left nipple.
What on earth could cause me this pain?
Money.

heh ... I did follow the rules for a cinquain as found on a poetry resource website.
Most cinquain poems consist of a single, 22 syllable stanza, but they can be combined into longer works. A cinquain consists of five lines. The first line has two syllables, the second line has four syllables, the third line has six syllables and the fourth line has eight syllables, the final line has two syllables:
2
4
6
8
2
The line length is the only firm rule, but there are other guidelines that people have tried to impose from time to time.

This is what happens when you stuff loose change inside your bra. Just do this with folding money.
I like the irony of the poem. Money (or lack thereof) hurts.

You may be trying to write a Cinquain but it isn't following the rules for one. Below, is what you should see in a true Cinquain. Including the title line, there are only 5 lines.
Line 1: a one-word line, a noun, that gives the poem its title.
Line 2: two adjectives that describes what the poem is about.
Line 3: three action -ing verbs that describe something the subject of the poem does.
Line 4: a phrase that indicates a feeling related to the subject of the poem.
Line 5: a one-word line, noun, that sums up what the poem is about, essentially renaming it.
I suggest you try again to write it and make it follow these rules. You will find that it will turn out much better and be a lot easier to comprehend. Try the website below for some additional help.

Uncomfy Undies?
Sure...everybody pile on Cinnamon...
The Cinquain that 'Sunnyside Up' talkes about is in the style of Adelaide Crapsey, the inventor of the form. But, yes, the only real rule is 2 4 6 8 2...

Don't be alarmed. It's probably just a small animal that got lost. Reach for the clasp SLOWLY...you don't want to anger...um scare it. This is perfectly safe don't worry.
Now listen to me carefully in case you pass ou...um is someone else there who can dial 911?

I'm confused. How did money end up in your bra? My guess is that the poem is about a stripper.

I thought it was amusing..... as for your nipple pain, did you have to spend money on a new bra due to your under-wire poking you?
