Oh what excitement with learning a few more writing styles.
I, Rae aka Ayizan, will bestow upon you once more with styles of writing!
As a short review, I will go over what has been shown and told about. They are as follows:
Part 1
Triad & Cyhydedd fer
Part 2
Cywydd deudir fyrion & Awdl gwydd
Part 3
Ae freslighe & Casbairdne
...There is the styles that was previously spoken about but I thought to myself, 'Hm..what if I add three to the next several educational columns?'
And the answer was simple so I will be doing that from now on. In other words, instead of me only listing and talking about two at a time, I'll be listing three so without further ado, let's start shall we?
Seventh: Deibhidhe(jay-vée)
Definition:
Each stanza is a quatrain of seven syllables. Light rhyming in couplets. Alliteration between two words in each line, the final word of line four alliterating with the preceding stressed word. There are at least two cross-rhymes between three and four.
Layout:
B x x x x x a'
x x x x x x' a
x b x x x x b'
xx x b x x' B
Eighth: Droighneach (dra'iy-nach)
Definition:
A loose stanza form. Each line can have from nine to thirteen syllables, and it always ends in a trisyllabic word. There is rhyming between lines one and three, two and four, etc. Stanzas can have any number of quatrains. There are at least two cross-rhymes in each couplet and alliteration in each line; usually the final word of the line alliterates with the preceding stressed word, and this is always true of the last line.
Layout:
x x d b x x x (x x a)
x x x x a x x x (x x b )
x x x x x b (x x a)
x x x x a x x (x x b )
x x x x x d x x (x x c)
x x x c x x x x x x (x x d)
x x d x x x x x x (x x c)
x x x x c x (x x d)
Ninth: Rannaicheacht Bheag (ron-a'yach viog)
Definition:
Similar to Rannaicheacht Mhor except lines one and three have eight syllables and two and four have six syllables.
Layout:
C x x x b x a c
x x a x b c
x b x x x x a c
x a x x b C
Now that I've given and explained these these new styles to you, let's see those wonderful minds work and pen out some fantastic poetry.
With each educational column written there might be a slight chance of there being more then three different styles so keep your eyes open for more
