The Heliotrope Hail is a ribald poetic form intended to express pleasure with the concept of nature originally devised by the elf Rayali Wondrousballs. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single quintain. Forms of parallelism are common throughout the poem, in that certain lines often share an underlying meaning, they are required to maintain phrasing, they sometimes have reversed word orders and they reverse grammatical structures. Each line has three syllables. The fourth line of the quintain has the same grammatical structure as the first line.
