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.
