Sketch For Cordel

Every cordel tells something I don't count at that time because i haven't done it yet I did not learn how to rhyme ... It was because I look for a theme may be the moan of the emu or sing of the nightingale fish without hook for thew ... So as it’s not twine can i write the paper without fear of making mistakes without censoring me. yet .... What I did was sextile broken into seven feet I'm not much versed in it it's not cordel style .. I'm Full of thirsty I have heart pain, I don't wish to cry but of much distress I can die as bull of nowhere land nostalgia for my hinterland ...! PS Cordel are leaflets containing popular poems, displayed for sale hanging from ropes or string, which gave rise to the name. Cordel is also the dissemination of art, popular traditions and local authors and is invaluable in maintaining local identities and regional literary traditions, contributing to the perpetuation of Brazilian folklore.

Dear Anne-Lise of cordel It dates back to the 16th century, when the Renaissance popularized the printing of oral reports, and it remains a popular literary form in Brazil. the way traditionally the leaflets were displayed for sale, hung on ropes, twine or string in Portugal. In the region where I live poets practice this ancient art with modern variations and appropriate language for the times ... The themes tell the story and stories of past cases, love affairs, humorous and even spicy events ... Many thanks for commenting, salute alkas
