The Verdant Ceders is a poetic riddle intended to describe Ivaletha, originating in The Unheeded Courageous Plump-Helmet-Fungi. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is two nine-line stanzas. Use of metaphor and vivid imagery is characteristic of the form. Each line has six feet with a syllable weight pattern of short-long (quantitative iambic hexameter). Every line of the poem has a terminal caesura. The eighth line of each stanza reverses the word order of the first line. The rhyme scheme of the poem is ABBBABBAA.
