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. | |||
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 _ | |||
# 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. | |||
