the format of five-character quatrains is five words and four sentences, which are usually rhymed. The number of words in each sentence is consistent, and the rhyme is generally flat and flat.
For example, this is Du Mu's Autumn Evening:
Wandering halfway into the river, the moon is high, and the clouds are thousands of miles away to send autumn geese.
with my comrades of the city who are here to see me off, and as each of them drains his cup, I say to him in parting.

I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin, to hold the hairpins any more.
