Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: first line: a noun
second line: 2 adjectives
third line: three ing words
fourth line: a 4 word word phrase...?

what is a 4 word phrase???

Cinquain -- syllables 2-4-6-8-2. The last 2 syllables should be a juxtaposition on your first.
I assume this is an assignment for school? Who suggested the "ing" words?

An example (and not a very good one)

Luna, (2 syllables, but one word)
sharp scimitar (4 syllables - describing the shape)
slashing, smashing, crashing dreams (okay 6 with 3 ing)
awakened by the blade of light (8 syllables)
morning. (Juxtoposition from night to day)
