| A Tseezh meter is a set number of syllables per line, commonly with a division of each line into (usually two) sub-lines of certain lengths.
| | Tseezh poetry is based on rhyming and lines with set numbers of syllables. |
| | |
| Alliteration is essential in Tseezh poetry; traditionally, one creates a sense of rhythm by using alliteration in certain patterns such as:
| |
| | |
| # the beginning syllables of sub-lines, e.g. in the pattern a ... | a ... or a ... | b ... | a ...
| |
| # syllables within lines or sub-lines, e.g. a _ a _ ‖ b _ b _ ‖ c _ c _ ‖ d _ d _
| |
| # the above two may be combined, e.g. a _ a ... | b _ b ... ‖ b _ b ... | c _ c ... ‖ c _ c ... | d _ d ...
| |
| | |
| Non-traditional alliteration schemes are used in modern poetry and in whimsical, quasi-Hofstadterian "riddle poems".
| |

| An example of a couplet with 4+4-lines:
| |
| | |
| <poem>
| |
| '''''Ts'''als ftjud txeob reodj ‖ '''ts'''op hjaeg jeopng'';
| |
| '''''d'''usp ny mjav pnje, ‖ '''d'''vots lats fjeltjar.''
| |
| </poem>

| "Telegraphic" syntax à la Classical Chinese, i.e. not using classifiers and grammatical particles, is relatively common in "classical" poetry.
