Zejel The Zejel is a very old Spanish poetic form that-- likely an even older Arabic poetic form that originated sometime between the ninth and eleventh centuries. RULES for Zejel: 1st stanza-- a tercet (3-line stanza) with an AAA rhyme scheme ALL other stanzas are quatrains (4-line stanzas) with a XXXA rhyme scheme, so the 2nd stanza would be BBBA, 3rd CCCA, 4th DDDA, and so on to the end of the poem-- continue with as many quatrains as you like! Lines are usually 8 syllables long
