An extract from the resource:
A cinquain (‘sin-kane’) is a type of poem that has five lines. Each line of a cinquain has a certain number of syllables. Each line also has a certain number of stressed syllables. This means that you put more emphasis on that syllable when speaking the line so that you give a particular meaning to the poem.
A haiku (‘high-koo’) is a type of poem that has three lines. Each line of a haiku has a certain number of syllables. Traditionally, haikus were written to make the reader feel a particular emotion.
