Nathaniel Garenteen's definitions
An advanced poem scheme similar to a haiku. In a pentole the syllable count goes as follows: 1,1*,3,8, repeat the 1* exactly then finish with 4 syllables. What makes this poem scheme so hard is the tonality. The lower syllables coincide with high pitched tone, and the higher number lines correlate with a low tone. This forces the poet to shift and almost sing the poem in multiple tones and voices.
