englyn
An englyn is a traditional Welsh poetic form that consists of a set structure, typically featuring a specific number of lines and syllables. It often includes a rhyme scheme and is known for its musical quality. Englynion (the plural of englyn) are commonly used in Welsh literature and can express a variety of themes, from nature to personal reflection.
The most common types of englyn include the englyn milwr and englyn penfyr, each with distinct syllable patterns. This form of poetry has deep roots in Welsh culture and is often recited at Eisteddfodau, which are festivals celebrating literature, music, and performance in Wales.
