I love that - Quiet hands...Thank you.
In...Dear T <br />I love that - Quiet hands...Thank you.<br /><br />In Malay there are many forms of poetry.<br /><br />PANTUN<br />The most famous and elegant are the pantun, known to the French circle of 18th century high society as pantoun.<br /><br />They can be 4 line, 6 line or 8 line stanzas of abab, abcabc and abcdabcd form.<br /><br />The first half is usually a metaphor/indication of what comes in the second half.<br /><br />There is also pantun berkait where the 2nd and 4th lines are repeated in the following stanza. Again, the 1st half is an indication of what's to come in the poetry.<br /><br />SYAIR<br />Syair, which is usually sung in a melodic rhyme is influenced by Persian origins. The form is aaaa. The most popular syair known to us is Syair Siti Zubaidah Perang China of 4300 lines - the story of a Malay prinbcess who went to war with China.<br /><br />SAJAK<br />Sajak is of free form - as such the most difficult for me.<br /><br />Please feel free to drop by www.pantundanselokaninotaziz.blogspot.com for my Malay poetry. I never thought of translating them because that is so difficult, but now, I might try it.ninotazizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491437553562159354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554309518179807002.post-31005648293529834922010-08-10T12:30:39.720-07:002010-08-10T12:30:39.720-07:00Quiet hands can be the most powerful.
