 ====Alliterative poetry====
-A Tsjoen meter is a set number of syllables per line, commonly with a division of each line into (usually two) sub-lines of certain lengths.
+The older, more native tradition is poems with rhythmic alliteration.
-Alliteration is essential in Tsjoen poetry; traditionally, one creates a sense of rhythm by using alliteration in certain patterns such as:
 # the beginning syllables of sub-lines, e.g. in the pattern a ... | a ... or a ... | b ... | a ...
-# syllables within lines or sub-lines, e.g. a a a _ ‖ b b b _ ‖ c c c _ ‖ d d d _
+# syllables within lines or sub-lines, e.g. a _ a _ ‖ b _ b _ ‖ c _ c _ ‖ d _ d _
 # the above two may be combined, e.g. a _ a ... | b _ b ... ‖ b _ b ... | c _ c ... ‖ c _ c ... | d _ d ...
 Non-traditional alliteration schemes are used in modern poetry and in whimsical, quasi-Hofstadterian "riddle poems".
-An example of a couplet with 4+4-lines:
-<poem>
-'''''Ts'''als ftjud txeob reodj ‖ '''ts'''op hjaeg jeopng'';
-'''''d'''usp ny mjav pnje, ‖ '''d'''vots lats fjeltjar.''
-</poem>
-"Telegraphic" syntax à la Classical Chinese, i.e. not using classifiers and grammatical particles, is relatively common in "classical" poetry.
