Jonathan Chen

Below is a series of cinquains which Jonathan wrote about memories from our most recent large family reunion in Estes Park, CO.

Cinquains
by Jonathan Chen

Reunion

Airport
Butterfly dome
Colorado Chipmunks
Danger! Mau, Catan, Rubik's Cubes
Estes

Activities

Fireworks
Galloping deer
Highland tundra footprints
Inspiring drama and worship
Jump rocks

Goodbye 

Kisses
Loud fare-thee-wells
Memories bittersweet
Nothing like family comfort
Onwards 

Jonathan wanted to share his memories from the Lee-Chen reunion with everyone, and alphabetized the beginning words of lines just for fun. 

Cinquains were invented by American poet Adelaide Crapsey. "Cinquain" referred to any poem of five lines. Nice work, Jonathan!
