The Monk of Zephyrs is a solemn poetic form concerning someone recently deceased originally devised by the goblin Mato Kindlinghate. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single tercet. Use of consonance is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines use the same placement of allusions. Each line has three syllables. The second line of the tercet must expand the idea of the first line. The first line is intended to describe the subject of the poem. It must make use of symbolism. The second line is intended to develop the previous idea. The third line is intended to move away from previous ideas.
