So far, I've only shown you guys and gals 6 cinquains that focus on "101 Dalmatians the series" characters. So, why not show you more of my anthology/poetry? Occasionally, every now and then, I'll add a few more poems. (Too many to do it in one go). I think I'll start with, my poetry that focuses on Other Disney films, (excluding Lion King).
Mad Hatter Cinquain
Mad Hatter
Crazy, illogical,
Tea-drinking, singing, Futterwacking/dancing,
Civilized psycho
Man of Mercury. - (What I mean by Man of Mercury is that, [as I learned in 8th grade chemistry], the Mad Hatter's hat is made of Mercury, which gives him his insanity, because Mercury affects the mind). - Madame Mim cinquain
Madam Mim
Crazy, mischievous,
Shape-shifting, cheating, playing,
Human Maleficent
Etiquette Enemy. - (For those of you who don't know, Madame Mim, in my eyes, is the main villain from "Sword in the Stone". She's mainly in one to two scenes, one after the other. One in which Arthur meets her, while a sparrow, and where she does a wizard's duel with Merlin. She is quite nice and proper towards at least Arthur. Although, she's a bit crazy or obsessed/mad about games. She practices black/dark magic, unlike Merlin. And, she's a human, unlike Maleficent.) - Frollo cinquain
"Judge/ Archdeacon" Claude Frollo
Fraudulent, Merciless
Burning, Accusing, Killing,
Guillotine of Gypsies
Impaler of Paris. - (In the Disney film, Frollo is a Judge. However, in the novel, he's an archdeacon. He's taken the lives of many citizens of Paris, mainly the Gypsies.) - Dodger Cinquain
Dodger,
Clever, sly,
Singing, swinging, stealing,
Master thief of New York
Robin Hood of the dogs. - (Dodger, or 'The Dodge', is based on the character, "The Artful Dodger" from Charles d**kens's novel, "Oliver Twist". The reason for the "Robin Hood of the dogs." is because he steals alright, but for the sake of others, such as f*gin, his owner. By 'swinging', I mean that occasionally, he's moving/singing a catchy song, such as "Why Should I Worry?". For those of you who don't know, song writer Billy Joel plays him.) - Reply, leave your opinion, and comment on what you think of these cinquains.

Here's a few other poems. No distinct topic between them. Just miscellaneous ones on deviantart.com. -
Birds cinquain
Birds
Majestic, colorful,
Flying, gliding, diving,
Lords of the sky,
Experts of the air. - (before I was interested in the Gray Wolf, I was mainly interested in birds. Primarily, the Northern Cardinal, [Cardnalis cardnalis], and the Barn Owl. Man may have its airplanes, jets, rockets, and such. However, those didn't come naturally. Birds, most of them, are born with the natural ability to fly. As Archimedes, from "Sword in the Stone", said, "If man were meant to fly, he would've been born with wings." He is true, but it's not just the wings that allow a bird to fly. For one thing, some to most of their bones are hollow.) -
Light/Darkness
Light
Bright, lively,
Blinding, welcoming, (often), guiding,
Heaven, day; Hell, night
never-ending, fear-inducing, frightening,
dim, dreary
Darkness - (This type of poem is called a 'diamond' poem. The idea is to set up ideas that are complete opposites, (such as light and darkness), and put down adjectives that describe them, and examples of them, or objects/names/ideas that would have a relevance to them.) - Crow Cinquain
Crow
Dark, intimidatin'
Flying, hunting, spying
Bird of Death.
Black dove. - (Some of us have read or heard of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven". Indeed, the raven is a bird that, least back then, was a symbol of death. But, it wasn't the only one. The crow is also another.) -
V.L.A.D.
Vampire of history,
Lord of Transylvania,
And nicknamed, "The Impaler", but
Dracula is his most well-known name. - (This type of poem is called a name poem. Many of us have heard of the names "Dracula" and "vampire". But, how did that legend or idea start? Date back to about, the late 1400s, Transylvania, (or what is now Romania, I'd say). The man on the throne of this area is none other than the real "Count Dracula". He's not a vampire like the legend describes them. His name is Vlad "The Impaler" Tepes. While he was on the throne, he impaled/killed just about all the citizens in his kingdom, in case there might have been a traitor.) - Like I said before, reply, leave your opinion, and comment on what you think of the poems if you wish.

Here are some more poems of mine. Behold, my death-related poems. -
Murder/Suicide
Murder
easy, long,
attacking, shooting, poisoning,
Claudius, Tybalt; Ophelia, Juliet
hanging, drowning, stabbing,
swift, difficult,
Suicide - (A couple of times, before I met Bab, Shadow, and some others on deviantart.com, during school, I would get so annoyed by the male students in my class, I would kinda start thinking about dark thoughts. Like, "Does anyone have a tranquilizer dart?". Or making a comment that involved the guillotine, (one time, my Spanish teacher agreed w/me on that, lol). Anyway, one thought that occasionally entered my mind is, "Murder, or suicide?". In other words, "To be, or not to be?". I know and knew that by performing murder, I'd be arrested, no doubt, and have a strike on my soul. However, suicide isn't worth it. Yet, I hate those male students at school. I still often think that tranquilizer dart idea, at least, though.) - Directions of Death
The guillotine is quick, and the axe knows the trick.
The poison is slow, and disease is as so.
The sword often bleeds, and a neck the noose needs.
The beast will bite, while the cliff bears height.
So many choices to make, which one shall I take?
But for me, there is no debate, for they each seal my fate. - (In short, one thing this poem states is that there is no escape from death. If none of the above were to take your life, time will. This wud also be something that one who wanted to commit suicide would think of, perhaps. But, like I said, for me, suicide is far from worth it, now.) -
Condemned
The end for me is near. For I know what to fear.
The Judge's frustrated face, and the jury in disgrace.
The results full of dread, and so soon I shall be dead. - (I got the idea for this poem a while after reading, "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe. In a way, this is what would be going through a criminal who was sentenced to death for a crime.) - Reply, leave your opinion, and comment on what you think of these dark, dark poems, if you wish.

Time for more poetry. This time, we shall see the differences between an angel and a demon in my "All Dogs Go To Heaven" poems. - 'Belladonna' Cinquain
Belladonna,
Untrustworthy, evil.
Deceiving, luring, tempting
Red's pet dog.
Lucifer's field worker. - (Belladonna is Annabelle's diabolical, demonic cousin. She is only shown in the series and the "ADGTH" Christmas Carol. She's the same size as Annabelle, and has purple fur, with a punk rock getup. For an image of her, check out the poem on my deviantart gallery. Red is the 1st challenge from the Inferno that Charlie Barkin and Itch face, and he shows more power, so that practically makes Belladonna his pet.) - Red cinquain
Red,
Fraudulent, serious,
Deceiving, dealing, transforming,
Lucifer's cat
Devil to the dogs. - (In All Dogs Go To Heaven 2, Red takes the form of a fellow dog as a cover. His real form is a fully-red large cat, with a blue robe. To the dogs, he is the devil, or at least a greatly-feared demon. He makes a deal with Charlie over a collar that makes Charlie and Itch physical, (when they go back 2 Earth, no one but Red and Carface can see them). And he says this, "A deal with me, is binding.") - Angels/Demons
Angels
Holy, just,
Guiding, Assisting, Protecting
Annabelle, Lance; Belladonna, Red
Deceiving, Luring, Tempting,
Sinful, evil,
Demons - (Pretty simple, another diamond poem. In the middle, examples of angels are given first, and demons next.) - Lance cinquain
Lance,
Obedient, non-violent,
Saving, explaining, referring,
Hindu of the angels
Peacemaker of the dogs. - (Like Blaze from "101 Dalmatians: The Series", Lance is a character that shows up for one episode. He is quite boastful. However, he is not a fighter, like Charlie Barkin. He follows everything mentioned in the angel hand/guidebook. The thing about the Hindu of the angels, is that if I'm not mistaken, (this is sort of what I learned in school), try not to kill or harm other organisms, because their belief in reincarnation.) - (And now, for the finale of this set, put your paws together for...Charlie B. Barkin.) - Charlie B. Barkin cinquain
Charlie Barkin
Greedy, neutral
Deceving, saving, completing
Heaven's demon
Hell's angel. - (Charlie Barkin, the most well-known character of the "All Dogs Go To Heaven" franchise. Greed, gluttony, revenge, and violence are four things we know him for. However, in the series, occasionally, his gluttonous or greedy side will take over, but he'll often be able to do what is right in the end. Unlike his pal, Itchy, Charlie isn't exactly one-sided. He doesn't enjoy angel work, (or field missions, as I sometimes call them). In the episode in which the duo meet Belladonna, the demon dog gives him an offer for the 'easy way' through challenges, or life. He first takes it, but when Itch's life is put in danger by Belladonna, Carface, and Killer, [Carface's assistant from the 1st film], Charlie switches back to the good side.) - Reply, leave your opinion, and comment on what you think of these, if you wish.

Time for another set. However, this one is rather short. Both deal with the same film, but of course, different characters. Rather, opponents of each other. - Steele Cinquain
Steele
Self-centered, aggresive,
Fighting, Racing, Fooling,
Spitz of animation
Gaston of Universal. - (Steele is the villain from "Balto". He's a Malamute. What I mean by "Spitz of animation" is that he makes me think of the character, Spitz, from Jack London's "Call of the Wild", (great story). Spitz is, in short, the rival dog of the main character, Buck. Eventually, Buck actually kills Spitz, unlike what Balto did. What I mean by "Fooling" is that Steele is often trying to make the humans believe that Balto can't be trusted. What I meant by "Gaston of Universal." is that he bears a resemblance to Gaston, the villain from "Beauty and the Beast", (which is a Disney film), but "Balto" is a film from Universal Studios.) - Balto Cinquain
Balto
Persistent, reckless,
Saving, Racing, Tracking,
White Fang of animation
Quasimodo of Universal. - (Balto is the half-bred canine hero from "Balto". What I meant by "White Fang of animation" is that Balto makes me think of White Fang, whose also practically half-wolf and half-dog, (since his mother was once owned by Native Americans), from Jack London's "White Fang", (also a good story). 1st, he starts out in the wild. Eventually, he is welcomed in by a human, aside from the natives, because he saves the life of his human friend's father. What I meant by "Quasimodo of Universal" is that Balto is rejected by all except for a few characters, (Boris, Muk, Luk, Jenna, his own pack, & a few others), for what he is, like Quasimodo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", (his friends are Laverne, Hugo, Victor, {the 3 gargoyles}, Esmerelda, Phoebus, and Djali, {regarding the 1st film}). - Reply and comment on what you think of these 2, if you wish.

I've made cinquains about the good, spotted quartet of "101 Dalmatians: The Series". So, how's about a little poetry about the villainous ones? Starting with, the mad scientist of the family, PH DeVil. - PH DeVil Cinquain
PH DeVil
Insane, evil
Experimenting, deceiving, observing,
Mad Scientist of the DeVils.
Dr. Moreau of the series. - (Occasionally, when we see PH in an episode of 101D the series, he at least once laughs maniacally, like he's lost it. Then, he tries to look proper and sophisticated after that. Being a scientist, he must make observations in the testing periods of his experiments, (several of which, are done on animals, and do not have good results from the animal's perspective)). - When I come around to thinking of ways I can describe at least Ivy, Cruella, or Judge Dimmsdale, I'll get to making cinquains about them.

Time for some more additions, and from my largest section, Lion King-related poetry. However, of course I'm not gonna put all of the poems in. A few at a time. - Pride Lands
The heat of the sun,
And the sound of the stampede.
Behold the Pride Lands! - (As you can tell by the pattern, this is a haiku about the Pride Lands, the main setting in the Lion King franchise.) - Hakuna Matata/Paranoia
Hakuna Matata
Worry-free, calm
Relaxing, resting, Kicking back
Peace, Harmony; Y2K, 2012
Freaking out, Worrying, fearing,
Fearful, nervous,
Paranoia - (Another diamond poem. This time, the differences between "Hakuna Matata" and paranoia.) - Pride Lander/ Outsider
Pride Lander
Lawful, trustworthy
Living, Defending, cooperating
Simba, Kiara; Zira, Kovu
Surviving, fighting, attacking
Unlawful, untrustworthy
Outsider - (In Lion King 2, the pride that was whole in LK1 is split into 2 groups. Pride Landers, led by Simba, the king. And The Outsiders, led by Zira, apparently Scar's mate. You can tell out of those two groups which one is the villainous team. Kovu was raised and trained by Zira, so he acquired the killer instincts of an assassin, and a hunter. However, his connection and time with Kiara disrupted his mission to kill Simba, and he chose 2 no longer fight for Zira.) - Heroes/Villains
Heroes
generous, brave
risk-taking, life-saving, defending
Simba, Kovu; Scar, Zira
deceiving, menacing, killing,
treacherous, evil
Villains. - (Simple, what are the differences between a hero and a villain? Aside from these details, it's the perspective of the story that marks certain characters as 'villains' or 'heroes'.)

I have in mind another poem, but it's a bit of a vent one, so therefore this might be the mere rough/1st draft of it, (and I'm not putting it on deviantart because I think it might be a bit too personal/specific. This one, has to deal with one of my current teachers, the one for my theatrical class. 2 Words, 1 Action I know that your job is to explain a certain topic, But you talk so long I'd rather listen to music.
We're finishing up a physical performance unit, But when you're done talking, there's little time left to do it.
The time to describe every detail was weeks ago, And now it's the time to just let us put on a show.
I know class length is just over 1 hour, But that doesn't mean you should ramble longer than the Doctor.
It's clear we know what to do, When we get up onstage in front of you.
But why should I listen up, When you never SHUT UP?!
(To put it short, this vent poem is about my Theatre Arts class teacher, who tends to explain things too bloody long. He takes up least half the class period, (about 77 minutes long per class period), explaining things, but now it's really annoying bcuz we're finishing up IMPROV unit and I LOVE this one, especially when performing but he keeps....on....TALKING. He's hoping to finish it by next Monday or this Friday, but if he keeps it up I think we're gonna finish it in December.).

I've made a new poem, (it's on deviantart), as a bit of an early Christmas present for Two-Tone.
Poem of Youth
Oh, how wonderful it is to have youth, So young, you haven't had your first tooth.
So cute and adorable, no one could ignore, You, such innocence and sweetness, anyone could adore.
Sure, some 'negatives' are certainly required, But sometimes it's really comfy to be diapered
Your entertainment more simple than chewing on someone's socks, Instead replaced with chew toys, bright balls, and letter blocks.
Playing patty-cake with papa. Listening to lullabies from mama.
There's absolutely no point in denying, That we'd all rather be babies again, than dying.
