the pantun is a malaysian form based on oral traditions and is the seed form that developed into what is known in the west as the pantoum.
the rundown:
- one stanza of four lines
- each line usually contains between 8 and 12 syllables.
- a/b/a/b rhyme scheme.
- the first couplet may seem completely unattached in subject matter or concept to the second, though there is some connection.
- traditionally uses assonance as well as allusion to proverbs, history and geography.
the template is simple:
a (8-12 syls)
b (same syl count as the first line)
a (same syl count as the first line)
b (same syl count as the first line)
and an example:
janus
spring is welling up through the ground beneath my feet
while i'm pining for somber days smelling of snow.
plans are taking shape, with the first steps now complete...
will this path lead to the red dirt that birthed this soul?
