The Song of Sparkles is a dramatic poetic form intended to beseech, originating in The Tress of Bewildering. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single octet. Use of symbolism is characteristic of the form. The fifth line of the octet contrasts the underlying meaning of the first line. The eighth line of the octet reverses the grammatical structure of the third line. The eighth line of the octet presents a different view of the subject of the sixth line.
