A Lupus Luna consists of stanzas with four lines, ten syllables in each line, and a refraining fourth line.
SYLLABLES:
Every line has ten syllables, but the key to a Lupus Luna is that the first line in every stanza is "cut in half" by a comma. There are five syllables before the comma and five syllables after the comma.
REFRAIN:
Every stanza's fourth line in a Lupus Luna is the same.
