The so-called "festival" is a recurring structural form in poetry, sometimes equivalent to a paragraph in prose. In English poetry, the number of lines in each section is fixed, but it is not fixed. The lengths of lines are different, and some are fixed. A poem may have only one section, or it may consist of several sections. If a poem has several bars, there are blank lines between them. As far as non-metrical poetry is concerned, there is not much difference between English and Chinese poetry in this respect. The following English poem consists of four unconventional parts. The number of lines, line length, meter and rhyme of each paragraph are basically not fixed, mainly depending on the fluctuation of the poet's mood: the first paragraph 14, the second paragraph 6, the third paragraph 8 and the fourth paragraph 9; The longest line is 1 1 syllable, and the shortest line is only 4 syllables, usually between 8 and1syllable; It rhymes, but it is very regular.
In terms of traditional metrical poems, compared with Chinese poems, China's metrical poems are basically four lines and one section (except words), four lines of quatrains, eight lines of metrical poems, generally five or seven words, two or four lines or one, two or four lines rhyme; However, the traditional stanzas in English poetry are much more complicated. Each traditional festival has a certain meter and rhythm, and different festivals have different traditional names and different use values (even if they are used for different themes). Different traditional stanzas are often used by poets in the same poem to achieve a certain purpose, which is one of the artistic means for poets to express their feelings and thoughts.
Traditional English poetry festivals include two lines (antithesis), three lines (triad), four lines (quatrains), five lines (limerick, also known as "limerick"), seven lines (rhyme royal, also known as "Wang Yun") and eight lines (Otavariri). Spencer's Poetry Festival (also known as "Spencer's Poetry Festival") and sonnets have different rhythms and different traditional use values.
