Line must be a noun or a subject and be only one word. For line two we use two words that are adjectives
 describing the first line. We use three words ending in -ing which describe the first line. Line four must have
 four nouns. But, the first two nouns must describe line one and the last two nouns must describe line 7.
 So, this poem start off being about one noun and then ends with another noun. Line 5 we use three words
 describing line 7. In line six we use two adjectives describing line 7. And, at last, in line seven we use a
 synonym for the subject that you were talking about.

To recap, a Cinquain is:

Line 1: Noun or subject – one word
Line 2: Two Adjectives that describe line 1
Line 3: Three ‘ing words that describe line 1
Line 4: Four nouns – the first two are connected with line 1; the last two are connected with line 7
Line 5: Three ‘ing words that describe line 7
Line 6: Two adjectives that describe line 7
Line 7: Noun Synonym for the subject

This is the unedited version of the poem. See, how with the help of editing it looks more like a Diamante poem?
