An American poet named Adelaide Crapsey invented the Cinquain. She wrote a lot of poems with this format in the last years of her life. She died early, at the age of thirty-six.The Cinquain is a short, 5-line poetry form, with a distinct pattern. It looks easy to write because the format is short; however, don't be fooled. This is a good poetry format for beginners because it is short, and you don't worry about rhyming. You concentrate on selecting words that create the effect you want to create. Yet, this format is also good for more experienced poets because it is challenging to write in such a short format.

December 27, 1998 BOOKEND / By HENRY TAYLOR Brief Candles few writers have invented forms, or the names for them, in ways that lodge those writers more or less durably in our literature. Gelett Burgess (1866-1951), the inventor of the purple cow he never saw, also coined the term ''blurb.'' Adelaide Crapsey (1878-1914), an American, invented a five-line verse form, derived in part from Asian models as she understood them; she called it the cinquain, and it is still practiced now and then. In our own time, Anthony Hecht, Paul Pascal and John Hollander have given us the double dactyl. And Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), who was famous as the author of ''Trent's Last Case,'' gave his middle name to a ragged little verse form that came into being, it is said, during a chemistry class the young Bentley was attending at St. Paul's School: Sir Humphry Davy Abominated gravy. He lived in the odium Of having discovered Sodium. Bentley published three collections of clerihews: ''Biography for Beginners'' appeared in 1905, ''More Biography'' in 1929 and ''Baseless Biography'' in 1939. But what established the form and its name was the thoroughness with which it inspired later writers, including W. H. Auden, William Jay Smith and Roy Blount Jr. Just one of these little poems can slip into the body, like a virus, and within minutes spawn offspring:

When did the Bentley family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name? Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations . Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Bentley include Bentley, Bentli, Bentlie, Bently and others. First found in Lancashire and Yorkshire, where they held a

Monday, July 10, 2006 July 10: Clerihew Day Edward Oz Writes everyday because English never fails to amaze Just read today's post on Word Daze Today is the birthday of Edmund Clerihew Bentley whose middle name became a form of light verse. Bentley made a name for himself with a classic work of detective fiction called Trent's Last Case , but he is best known for the four-line verse form that bears his middle name: the clerihew The clerihew is a biographical form that begins with the subject's name (or at least contains the name in the first line). It is made up of two rhyming couplets (thus the rhyme scheme is AABB). The only other requirement of the form is that it should be light hearted or humorous. Bentley's Biography for Beginners , published in 1905, was his first collection of verse. He followed this up with additional volumes of verse in 1929 and 1939. Here are a couple of examples of Bentley's clerihews: Edward the Confessor Slept under the dresser.

Clerihews Clerihews are short funny poems invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956). They have four lines, which do not have to be of the same length. The first two lines have to rhyme — so do the last two (AABB). The first line has to contain the name of a person. Bentley is said to have designed the form during a boring chemistry lesson. Sir Christopher Wren Said, 'I'm going to dine with some men. If anybody calls Say I'm designing St Paul's.' E. Clerihew Bentley Geoffrey Chaucer Always drank out of a saucer. He said it made him feel such an ass To drink out of a glass. E. Clerihew Bentley Jonathan Swift Never went up in a lift; Nor did the author of Robinson Crusoe Do so. E.
