Vegas Treasures
(A Cinquain Poem)
Vegas
holds more treasures
than those gambling dens.
You'll find true beauty resident
outside.

Author Notes
I find walking around outside at Las Vegas cheaper and more rewarding than inside. Especially when I leave home in Minnesota at 10 degrees with snow on the ground and land at 70 degrees with palm trees.
This poem is a Cinquain.
A Cinquain is written using a pattern. "Cinq" [pronounced SINK] is French for the number 5. This type of poem only has five lines. Each line follows a specific pattern.
There are many ways to write this type of poetry. The traditional Cinquain, as developed by Adelaide Crapsey, has five lines and a strict structure based on syllable count.
Line 1: Two syllables
Line 2: Four syllables
Line 3: Six syllables
Line 4: Eight syllables
Line 5: Two syllables
