Rispetto Style
My little cousins
My heart trembles when I see
you, my little cousins growing up so fast
Best friends we will always be
just like now and in the past
I can’t stop the naughty time flying
But to build a bridge of memories I’m trying
So that the connection that we have together
Will be the same now and forever

Thanks for stopping by my playground. Much appreciated. Beautiful poem. 🙂
I’ve written these, but not on purpose. I mean I’ve written in the style without knowing what it was called.
Thanks for putting a name to it. I’ll have to practice some of these!

This type of four poems first and second line as you wrote some rhymes together and had separate
But my question is whether this kind of music is also a kind of poem
Will this kind of poetry only in two four-line is written or even longer to be
Different types of poetry in Persian language we just kind of a long poem that is somewhat similar to the sonnet and poem called Masnavi.
