The Dawn of Strings
The Dawn of Strings is a dramatic poetic form concerning family originally devised by the human Nomar Blazedactions. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is divided into three distinct parts: a quintain, a line and another line. Use of epenthesis is characteristic of the form. Every line of the poem has a medial caesura.
- The first part is intended to make an assertion. Certain lines sometimes have reversed word orders and present different views of the same subject. It has lines with four feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic tetrameter).
- The second part is intended to make a counter-assertion. It has five feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic pentameter).
- The third part is intended to synthesize previous ideas. It has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic trimeter).
