Rhymes in history
The history of poetry has a lot to do with the cultures of each place at different times, and an analysis retrospective allows us to glimpse variants in the way of assigning metrics to what is sung or written around the world.
This bequeathed many different forms of stanza, generally classified according to the length of the verses (divided into syllables, but not by according to the formal division but to the rhythmic one, between four and twelve syllables in general), and the way they rhyme (graphed with vowels according to the rhyme).
