A Rubaiyat
A chapter in the book Little Poems
The Cobbled Path
by Treischel
|
At least for me, a walkoutside in nature has a calming effect and does wonders for my soul. So the seeds sown here are seeds of replenishment.
This poem is a Rubaiyat.
When one hears the name Rubaiyat, one automatically thinks of Omar Kyyam. So it is not surprising to the format originated in Persia. The Persian word means "four", thus the Quatrain is the primary verse structurein its composition, but the rhyme scheme is the twist that distinguishes the style of poetry from all others.
It consists of four line stanzas (quatrains) and is usually tetrameter or pentameter form.
Lines one, two, and four rhyme and the third line can be used to interlock the next stanza and by doing so with three or more stanzas, we have a Rubaiyat.
