This 10-line poem is comprised of 3 rhyming couplets (or 2-line stanzas) and a quatrain (or 4-line stanza). The first line of each couplet is 8 syllables long and presents a question to which the second line responds in 3 to 4 syllables–either as an answer or an echo. The quatrain is also referred to as a redondilla (which is usually a quatrain written in trochaic tetrameter) with an abbarhyme pattern. The final line of the quatrain also combines lines 2, 4, and 6 together. As such, here’s how the whole poem comes together (line-by-line): Line 1: a rhyme in 8 syllables Line 2: a rhyme in 3-4 syllables Line 3: b rhyme in 8 syllables Line 4: b rhyme in 3-4 syllables Line 5: c rhyme in 8 syllables Line 6: c rhyme in 3-4 syllables Line 7: c rhyme in 8 syllables Line 8: d rhyme in 8 syllables Line 9: d rhyme in 8 syllables Line 10: (Line 2) (Line 4) (Line 6) ~~Image #4000 Sharing Restricted~~ |
