Classical Windermere poetry usually uses the 4+4 octosyllable meter (''χăynung slămaaχ''), the 4+6 decasyllable meter (''χăynung slămaaχ te tălaχ''), the 5+5 decasyllable or the 6+4 decasyllable. Stanzas were often quatrains or couplets where the whole verse rhymed. Classical Windermere poetry was influenced by Classical Tseer poetry which used these meters and rhyme schemes; different meters were deemed appropriate for different contexts.
