Review Summary
- Syllabic stress + Pause = Kafi flow
よくある間違い
Overloading a line with heavy syllables breaks the flow. Keep the syllable count consistent with the established meter.
Word order in poetry is flexible, but it must serve the rhythm. Placing the verb at the end is traditional for flow.
Ignoring gender concord in poetic subjects ruins the rhythmic 'Maatra' count.
