Wu Yen Shih is an expansion of the Ssu Yen Shi.

From the Lu Shi code, the elements of Wu Yen Shih are:

  1. written in no more than 3 quatrains of 5 character lines, usually only 1 quatrain.
  2. composed of mono-syllable words with a caesura after the 2nd word.
  3. rhymed. Rhyme scheme is abab.

    bold fresh, print to read,
    out, probe, weigh in views
    twist truth, let lies bleed,
    facts shared, sell faux news
