There are several forms of Englynion, but this one seems to be the best for a game. The Englyn, described below, is similar to a haiku or cinquian, except for that it ryhmes.
Englyn unodl crwc:
The crooked one-rhyme englyn. This englyn is made up of four lines of seven, seven, ten and six syllables. The last syllable of the first, second and last lines rhyme and seventh, eighth or ninth syllable of the third line all rhyme with the original end-rhyme.
I'll begin, trying to set an example (if I can get it right):
an open door to forests
of lies, deceit that digest
the dire need, solomness; impress you
as you stand there undressed
(I think that's right)
You go...
