The elements of the Chante Fable verse are:

  1. in sections alternating verse with prose.framed at the poet's discretion with no specific number of lines.
  2. syllabic, usually 7 syllable lines and the strophe ending with a line of 4 syllables.
  3. rhymed using assonance within the line in all but the last line.
