Lesson Title: Shih The Shih is a symmetrical lyric form of poetry. Each poem is composed of four lines of either five or seven words to each line. Parallel couplets consisting of either synonyms, antonyms, or other comparative nouns are formed with each line. Example: (The parallels are bolded) The moon is awake For the sleeping sun A blossoming spring flower A withered autumn leaf *** The earth inhales the power The storm exhales its anger And across the torrent ocean We see no land untouched Written by: Marylin Houle Go here to post your lesson results |
