Cinquain you're winning
help
Anyone fancy a Cinquain? For the uninitiated, an American form of poem based on Haiku with a definite format:

The first line is one word giving the title. It has 2 syllables. The second line has 4 syllables (normally 2 words) that describe the title. The third line has 6 syllables that express an action, usually 3 words. The fourth line has 8 syllables that express a feeling (4 words). The fifth line is 1 word. It has 2 or 3 syllables. The number of words can be discretionary.

Confused? Well here's an example:

Station
Oxford Circus
Enter carefully please
Why's it always so busy here?
Tourists

But I'm sure you can do much better.... Winning move is Crescent.

In solitary confinement

A question mark
Said with two syllables

They're cutlery
Just as knives and forks are
The peak of civilisation
Spooöns: the fundamental particles of spoo.
Ferrous. (Raak) So a logon is an individual dead bacterium or particle of fibre.

Time's up!
Time to go home

As the winning move is set to something that could be a last line, here's a last first line:
Mornington
Good morning town
Northern Line wake and stretch
To early morning sounds of the
Crescent
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Chalky*
sorry - didn't play the game at all, but everyone seemed willing to put it to bed and I needed a space for a new game ...
