Another form, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:

Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.

    I love the playful feel of this one. I meant I can see the reality of it, the nature, the greenery and animals. But the way it's worded, it shows the wonder, the spark of life there. The inner child playing. Yes indeed, this one I really adore.

    One of my favorite forms, although I tend to focus on the traditional form (just counting syllables) than the modern form. This is lovely, especially liked the "green canape"!
