RHYME SCHEME abcb Thick mist / sharp rocks cut Dense rain / strong wind whips Vast drought / weak build folds Trade boon / graft wrecks ships RHYME SCHEME aaba Thick mist / sharp rock strips Dense rain / strong wind whips Vast drought / weak build folds Trade boon / graft wrecks ships POETIC FORM: Wujue = the 5 syllable per line jueju quatrain. See my contest, Let us Rock Five - wujue, for details regarding the composition of this Chinese poetic form. RECOMMENDED READING OF AWARD WINNING JUEJU POETRY The 2019 Newman Award for English Jueju Ceremony (linkedin.com) GLOSSARY FORM ‘Some of the formal rules of the regulated verse* forms were applied in the case of the jueju curtailed [contracted] verse, these rules as applied to the jueju include regular line length [either 5 or 7 syllables lines per quatrain: wujue/qijue], use of a single rhyme in even-numbered verses [lines], strict patterning of tonal alternations, use of a major caesura [a complete pause] before the last three syllables, optional parallelism and grammaticality of each line as a sentence. Each couplet† generally forms a distinct unit, and the third line generally introduces some turn of thought or direction within the poem.’ This is a verbatim quote (under FORM) from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jueju. My explanatory insets are in the square brackets. Under the heading, Structure, you will notice not only tonal alternations, but also the TWO ACCEPTABLE RHYME SCHEMES, namely, abcb (the ‘single rhyme in even-numbered verses’ referred to above) and aaba (introduced by Dr Jonathan Stalling over 25 years ago). This is also depicted here on Poetry Soup under Types of Poems. * ‘The most influential genre of Classical Chinese Poetry is called ‘regulated verse’ and these forms were thought to gather the world into words and refold them into inter-resonant patterns on a cosmological scale. Each monosyllabic word must be stacked in relation to the one before and after, above and below until the whole rests upon a final balanced point, as relaxed and exact as a cairn of transparent quartz.’ A direct quote from: poems.com/features/what-sparks-poetry/jonathan-stalling-on-spring-snow/ †In poetry, a couplet means any two lines that work together as a unit. In general terms, a couplet may be of equal or unequal lengths, rhymed or unrhymed, or have internal rhyme (for example, alexandrines), include enjambment or be part of a remote rhyme (for example, in the poetic form Fatras), employ interlaced rhyme (for example, the poetic form Essence), include metre or not – or be of uneven metre (an elegiac couplet), be complete in its own right or form part of a larger poem, for example, a sonnet. Et cetera. THE FIRST SET - ACTING TOGETHER AS A UNIT • Line 1 Qi (beginning) sets the scene (usually with a reference to nature); • Line 2 Cheng (development) expands the image and mood of this external scene; THE SECOND SET - A CHANGE IN DIRECTION • Line 3 Zhuan (returning) contrasts with start—it has an emotional resonance and often introduces humanity; and • Line 4 Jie (finishing) ponders the meaning and draws the parts together. Note that the term ‘verse’ can mean a 'single line in poetry’, or a 'stanza’. Q.E.D.
