Seguidilla (poetry)
The seguidilla is a verse form of Spanish in origin.[1] It has seven syllable-counted lines (7,5,7,5,5,7,5), and rhymes the second and fourth, and the fifth and seventh lines (x,A,x,A,B,x,B).
Example
- So quiet now, the ripples
- lapping on the shore
- scarcely disturb the silence
- - a whisper, no more.
- But who knows the power
- the growing breakers may have
- in another hour?
- - Paul Hansford
gollark: The wall is falling!
gollark: For context: about 1/5 of my scroll consists of ones valid under my *existing* scheme.
gollark: https://dragcave.net/group/70751This appears to be too many, so I'll probably require either a single two-letter code or three single-letter ones.
gollark: Since there are lots of those, I may consider requiring >=2 letters.
gollark: Yep!
