Tagalog poetry has two kinds of syllable-endings: the accented and the unaccented. The accented is what is difficult,
while the unaccented is what is the easy part of our poetic art.
The meters often used are the five, seven, eight, ten, twelve,
and fourteen syllables. Of these th eight and the twelve are the
most commonly used, especially in long poems. Blank verse is
not known in Tagalog poetry.
