poem form?

[kengr]

About 50 years ago, my eighth grade English teacher had us writing poems in a form that was quite interesting. I've never run across it since, and (of course) I can't remember all the details.

It was:

noun
adjective, adjective
phrase (can't remember what sort, but there was something specific about it)
noun

I recall one that was:

School
dull, boring
[can't recall phrase]
prison

I paired it with another one that showed the exact opposite impression of school.

If this isn't something she invented on her own, I'd like to know what it's called and what the rules are.

Blitzkrieg (old gamer joke: tanks in advance)

I did those too! Only about 20 years ago. But WHAT are they called!?

[kengr]

I dunno. But I'd love to at least get the *rules* for them again.

It's amazing what you can do with a form that simple.

Possibly Cinquain
