In the early 1900s, Adelaide Crapsey invented a five-line short form of poetry now known as the American Cinquain, based partially on her study of Cherokee incantations.
Most readers of short forms are familiar with Japanese Haiku and Tonka, but few are familiar with Adelaide's home-grown American Cinquain.
