The butterfly-cinquain has 9 lines. I found a short description of this form after joining a Yahoo group for writing cinquains. It thanks its name on the shape that it forms... like a butterfly.
Its syllable scheme is as following:
line 1: 2
line 2: 4
line 3: 6
line 4: 8
line 5: 2
line 6: 8
line 7: 6
line 8: 4
line 9: 2
An example:
silence
no spoken words
I hear just the rhythm
of the letters that I push in
to write
a story, that sticks in my mind
it flows with every word
on my sheet, all
words speak.
