The Furious Gallantry is a poetic riddle concerning war, originating in The Pincers of Moving. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single tercet. Use of onomatopoeia is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines are required to maintain phrasing. Each line has three syllables. The second line of the tercet must expand the idea of the first line. The first line is intended to make an assertion. The second line is intended to make a counter-assertion. It must make use of vivid imagery. The third line is intended to synthesize previous ideas.
