Popular with 12th and 13th century French poets, rimas dissolutas is a Portuguese phrase translating as â??Dissolute Rhymesâ??. The form is one that rhymes and yet doesnâ??t rhyme. For instance, each stanza contains no end rhymes, but each line in each stanza rhymes with the corresponding line in the next stanzaâ??employing an envoi at the end.
For example, hereâ??s how the end rhymes would work in two and three stanza versions of the rimas dissolutas with an envoi.
Note: There are no rules for meter, line length, or syllablesâ??except that these should be consistent from stanza to stanza, so whatever line lengths you choose in the first stanza you must retain in subsequent stanzas.
