英语中有类似绝句这样的短诗吗

汉语的绝句可类比英语的四行诗(quatrain )。

但英文里这类诗韵式大多是AAAA, ABAB,AABB,很少有汉语诗歌的AABA形式。另外英文里的固定体裁的诗歌音节大多是偶数,比如trimeter为六音节,tetrameter为八音节,而septenary 这种七音节的几位罕见。

举个8音节抑扬格的诗吧:

In brightest day, in blackest night,

no evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might,

beware my power, green lantern's light.

Even Though, To Do So, How Can I Be So Slow

I Dont Know, I Been Told

Tear Drop, Hair Blow

GO GO GO

Blue Day,Going Down, My Heart Will Do Go On

Revenge, With Gun

Now You Weak, I Am Strong
