Please I beg thee, spare me!
Take what coin I have and
Leave! For I have naught but
Wishes, tears to call home.
A Gzha from DFC 2016.  

The Gzha is a Tibetan dance form. There is no rhyme scheme but it does rely on internal assonance and consonance. It features one four-line stanza with 6 syllable lines, in trochaic trimeter. (syllables stressed are opposite to iambic). Iambic goes da DUM da DUM wheras trochaic goes DUM da DUM da. It ends with a spondee (two stressed syllables) as the last syllables in the last line.
