Yagan (poetic form)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yagan (Burmese: ရကန်; pronounced [jəgàɰ̃]) is a form of Burmese satirical poem.
Yagan glorifies and praises its subject highly by extremely kicking (satirising or criticising) any other things. Yagan without its characteristics can be called yadu.
Sholaik Yadu and Thagyin have the same general trend of yagan.
Four to six syllables in a line is allowed.[1] Composition-style is flexible. It mostly uses the way of composition in which its verses cap one another in assonance called "Khwadauk composition" (ခွာထောက်စပ်နည်း).
