Born from the 24hours stream by MajorQueros and the accompanying poetry challenge, and because yesterday was Valentine's day, I present to you:
How can you participate? Every day I am going to post a poetry challenge. Write a poem according to the rules and post it here with the following hashtag: #PoetryChallengeX (X stands for the day of the challenge).
Why I should I participate? 1. Because you love AoE. 2. Because poetry is fun. 3. Because there will be an immaterial reward for all participants.
What do I do if I have questions regarding the poems/challenge? Just ask me. I don’t bite, I promise.
But Ducky, I am no poet!!! That is nonsense. We can all be poets. This is challenge is about appreciating our beloved AoE and having fun, nothing more. Just enter! Don’t be shy!!!

Challenge No 1: Write a cinquain about your favourite unit!!!
The Cinquain
Ordinarily, the first line is a one-word title, the subject of the poem; the second line is a pair of adjectives describing that title; the third line is a three-word phrase that gives more information about the subject (often a list of three gerunds); the fourth line consists of four words describing feelings related to that subject; and the fifth line is a single word synonym or other reference for the subject from line one.

It should look like this:
