Cinquain Poem

Catching you

Now

In this

Fleeting moment

To explain my feelings

Because I need to speak aloud

Hey Katie! In line three, you have a verb phrase when it should be a noun phrase. I looked up fleeting in the thesaurus. It gave me "momentary." Is that a noun? What do you think?

I think in this case fleeting is modifying moment which is the headword of the noun phrase, so the third stanza is indeed a NP

Evening, Katie. Yours is a great poem, but I’m unsure if line two is actually a prepositional phrase. This is a demonstrative, and (I think) a prep. phrase requires an object. But maybe this can function similar to that in relative clauses (as a subject or dir. object)? Whatever the case, the poem is very smooth with fantastic rhythm!! :D
