I first learned of the empaat perkhatan, a Singaporian poetry form, in an article by Shelly Bryant in Scifaikuest. I had to try my hand. My first poem in this form will be published in Star*Line in the near future. In the meantime, check out the wikipedia article that briefly outlines the form.

Thank you for sharing this!
I was particularly struck by the example poem provided in the Wikipedia article referenced here. The way it effortlessly blends the tangible and the abstract, the personal and the universal, is simply masterful. It's no wonder this form has found such a devoted following among Singaporean poets.

Thanks for sharing the form. It's necessary when starting to compose poems.
