The style is characterized by a combination of heavy use of rhyme combined with a bludgeon like use of simile and metaphor.
A common and identifying feature in all Stowic poetry is the use of Anapestic tetrameter. Often used in Stowic poems with solemn themes, this often results in an unintended comic effect to the poem.
This unintentional irony is a feature which makes Stowic poetry so difficult to replicate. When consciously attempting to add both irony and a childish simplicity to a poem, the effort to which the author has gone is invariably apparent.

Here is an example of stowic poetry:
Separate
Now that we are separate
And I am all alone.
I'm walking down this path
In search of a brand new home.
No love is lost between us
Because I have spiritually grown.
Forever we will be friends
And never again alone.
Stow (2006

Coined at the end of the movie, "Braveheart", warrior poet describes the most bad ass of the bad asses. The most highly skilled fighters, competitors, warriors, swordsmen, spartans. No one can trump a warrior poet. Nobody trains like them. They do not know defeat and never will. Their heart, intelligence, and determination are unmatched. Their will to triumph, persevere, and over come are the thing of legend.
"In the Year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland - starving and outnumbered - charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, and won their freedom." -William Wallace, Braveheart
