25 lines poetry, garland cinquain, 12 days of christmas, challenge 3, french hens

          French Hens
          From France they come
          American citizens
          National anthem they must hum
          Ta-dum


          French Fries
          On Christmas Day
          Beyond the chimney lies
          A diner with dinner display
          Frappé


          French Hens
          Of Good Spirit
          Beyond the snow opens
          Camaraderie to dear wit
          Hear it?


          French Belles
          Dancing in sway
          Clattering cockleshells
          Merrily a chance to go play
          We pray


          French Belles
          On Holiday
          Find love and romance swells
          Like smoke and light they drift away
          Away


          French Hens
          On Christmas Day
          Beyond the snow opens
          Merrily a chance to go play
          Away

Challenge 3: Without your partners (they are only challenge 2) create me a Cinquain, or Garland Cinquain, about something that is related to France. No matter how distant or strange!

Garland Cinquain: a sequence of six cinquains in which the final cinquain is composed of lines from the preceding five (generally Line 1 from Stanza 1, L2 from S2, L3 from S3, L4 from S4, L5 from S5)

Cinquain has the syllabic count 2/4/6/8/2 - this equals one stanza.
