Cinquain from Grammar class

Deriding,

succinctly,
in debate class,
feeding my fragile ego.
Sweaty palms on the podium:
I listen intently to the faults of your speech.

It has been a long time since I've seen a Cinquain! What are the specs again?

Here is my little ride-a-long commentary:

Deriding, (title -ing +MV)

succinctly, (fun adverb)
in debate class, (simple prep. phrase)
feeding my fragile ego. (verb-inf. phrase the hardest part?)
Sweaty palms on the podium: (noun)
I listen intently to the faults of your speech. (adv. clause)
