Post on Cinquain lesson

The lesson is focused on cinquains and we learnt how to write a cinquain. I learnt more about cinquains after the lesson. A cinquain is a type of poetry similar to a haiku. A cinquain has only 5 lines. The word 'cinq' is the french word for five. The noun or topic will be in the first line. For the second line there will be two adjectives. Third line, three gerunds. A short sentence in the fourth line and finally, a synonym to the noun or topic in the fifth line. I want to find out who invented this type of wonderful poetry.
