There is a particular type of five line poem known formally as a Cinquain. Ideally, in this type of poem, line 1 has one word (a noun). line 2 has two words (adjectives which describe the noun in line 1). line 3 has three words (words which describe action related to the line 1 word). line 4 has four words (a phrase which describes a feeling about the line 1 word), and line 5 has one word which is another word for the line 1 noun (a synonym).
There is for instance the limerick. A very old example is: There was a young lady of Riga who smiled as she rode on a tiger. They returned from the ride with the lady inside and a smile on the face of the tiger. Limericks are very often bawdy, some people say they ought to be. Anyway the first line should end with a name, with which the second and the last line must rhyme. The third and the fourth line rhyme with each other.
A limerick has five lines and is usually funny:
There once was a man from Peru,
Who dreamed he was eating his shoe.
He awoke with a fright,
In the middle of the night,
To find that his dream had come true.
The Limerick is a five line poem:
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket
His daughter, named Nan
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
