This is a Spanish poetry form, the Quintilla, which Carlos' girl mentioned in a recent posting. It intrigued me and so I thought I'd look it up and give it a try.

The format: "The quintilla is a Spanish poetic form that uses five-line stanzas. Here are the guidelines:
Five-line stanzas.
Eight syllables per line.
An ab rhyme scheme in which at least two lines use the "a" rhyme and at least two lines use the "b" rhyme...
But the stanza cannot end with a rhyming couplet.

(Vaya con Dios means Go with God.)
