Guest Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 A torrent of destruction Born from a Council Adorned Particles collide 7-5-7 syllables ...dang I thought it was a haiku/senryu. Unless it's a form of the poem that I'm not aware of. I would definitely call it a form of fixed-length-verse poetry. Also, I had completely missed that... nice catch.

Surtur Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Well, I am not sure if there is a specific poem style to call it, but in the mean time the term Waka could be used. Waka is more of an umbrella term that includes Haikus, Senryus, Katautas, and other similar things. This particular poem contains the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines of a Tanka, so it could be called a partial Tanka. The next closest thing would be a Katauta, which is a 5-7-7 syllable style. Bit late for this but I will mention that I like Japanese history and poetry. Edited December 10, 2014 by Warlord_Zeta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedRaven Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I always thought PA was poetry in the way the infamous pattern of primed Waframes' genders repeats itself (ff-mm-ff-mm-ff and so on). The 7-5-7 syllables are most likely a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
