A rhupunt is a Welsh strict-metre stanza form made of a linked chain of short lines, usually joined by rhyme and the patterned sound effects of cynghanedd. It is often used as part of a larger awdl, and its tight structure gives the verse a driving, music-like momentum.
Example
The river turns the millwheel slow,
Stone after stone the water knows;
Dark fields answer the morning glow,
And on through mist the bright stream goes.
