Short Poem - Four-Line Long Poem With Only One Word In Each Line

As mentioned in my previous Blog post, I have found some short poems that are written in very few words recently. The poem is so short that it only contains four words in it to make a great poem. It’s just amazing!

Basically, this type of poem is called the four-line long poem. There is only one word in each line and each word has four letters. It’s short and sharp.

The four-line poem resembles the Chinese’s four-character idioms or Chengyu which literally means that “to become (part of) the language”.

Interestingly, the four-line poems also adopt the use of rhyme if not rhythm in them just like the conventional poems.

I guess you should be able to get the inspiration of creating your own four-line long poems after watching the video clip. So, let’s be creative!
