The Mirrored Cinquain

First I have to bring back into memory how the cinquain goes:

The cinquain is developed by Adelaide Crapsey.
A cinquain contains five lines (the French word cinq can be found in it), and has a total of 22 syllables. The poems are unrhymed, and in a way related to the haiku

This is how you form the cinquain

Line 1: 2 syllables
Line 2: 4 syllables
Line 3: 6 syllables
Line 4: 8 syllables
Line 5: 2 syllables

The Mirrored Cinquain has an additional stanza, in which you mirror the order of the lines.
This is how you form the mirrored cinquain:

Line 1: 2 syllables
Line 2: 4 syllables
Line 3: 6 syllables
Line 4: 8 syllables
Line 5: 2 syllables

Line 1: 2 syllables
Line 2: 8 syllables
Line 3: 6 syllables
Line 4: 4 syllables
Line 5: 2 syllables

The spaced opening in the middle forms the mirror, and in the second stanza you can see that the order of the lines are reversed.
