The Soaked Deer is a poetic riddle intended to praise Zepave Fishweather originally devised by the elf Ale Plaitedhooves. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is two to three tercets. Use of ambiguity and vivid imagery is characteristic of the form. Each line has five syllables. The second line of each tercet must expand the idea of the first line.
