Pantun

Pantun is a traditional Malay poetic form composed of four-line stanzas with a specific rhyme scheme (A-B-A-B). It often features vivid imagery and wordplay, expressing themes like love, nature, or wisdom. The first and second lines usually introduce an idea or scene, while the third and fourth lines provide a related or contrasting thought, creating a layered and evocative expression. Pantun is used in spoken and written art, ceremonies, and competitions, celebrated for its rhythmic flow and ability to convey meaningful messages in an engaging, poetic manner.
