My whippet ran
as fast as the wind.
With a cheetahs gate
he could catch all.
And now he rests
his race is done,
all rabbits happy.
*Shanzi is a syllabic poem in seven lines 4/5 5/4 4/4/5
Unrhymed
Lines 1 and 2 INTRODUCE the SUBECT
Lines 3 and 4 AMPLIFY what is affected by the image/subject.
Line 5 thru 7 Focus on NEW SUBJECT that complements and provides a meditative conclusion.
Shanzi may be Titled*
