Englyn the Form
We fill our busy days,with this and that,
playthings of each new craze
never stopping,just to laze-
or into our hearts,to gaze.
Note on form:ENGLYN a quatrain from Welsh poetry of 30 syllables in four lines 10,6,7,7.The
sixth syllable of line one annouces the rhyme,the last syllable of succeeding three lines
rhyme with it.(The final syllable of line one is without rhyme).The content often has an
enigmatic quality.
