Hungrily (Adverb)
On my bare skin (Prep Phrase)
Proboscis long and black (Noun)
To suck the life from my body (Verb Phrase-infinitive)

Okay, so this one is a little weird. When I wrote this I was watching a show about how female mosquitos drink blood so they can lay their eggs later.

Shakespearian Cinquain

Shakespeare's play, Macbeth: If no one is familiar with the play, Macbeth had Macduff's wife and kids murdered. These are his thoughts as he hunts down Macbeth during the final scenes of the play.

Fighting

Madly

Amid the night

Until death becomes me

Moving fast for the ending strike

My sword is drawn while Macbeth lies beyond

My Cinquain

Dreaming

Quietly
In my tent
Saturday night
To the sounds of the crickets
When the bear came and ate our food

Cinquain

Sleeping
Here Adv. T/P
In bed Prep. Phr.
Class is starting NP
To go or not to go Infinitive
When the alarm goes off again Dep. Clause

My first Cinquain! Let me know if there are errors or sketchy parts and I'll try to revise!

Version with forms of adverbials:

Sunbathing

There (Adverb)

At that place (prepositional phrase)

A few more weeks (noun phrase)

To enjoy the sunshine (verb phrase)

Because the sun will never look the same again (clause)
