Day 257:
Mar 14-back to more forms, this time the Vedas from India called the Jagati. This deals with animals and nature. 12 syllables per line, with any number of quatrains, using a modified form of iambic called heavy-light. Does not need to rhyme. Sometimes uses short-long accents like the following: sLsLsLsLsLss.

Jagati, Vedas that’s twelve syllables to write
The heavy-light accent, iambic phrases make
However many phrases on Nature it takes
Or animals, just write it out as best you can.
