The Fruity Bridegroom is a reflective poetic form intended to praise a lover, originating in The Cobaltite of Redoubles. The form guides poets during improvised performances. The poem is a single quatrain. Forms of parallelism are common throughout the poem, in that certain lines often contrast underlying meaning and they reverse grammatical structures. Each line has three feet with a tone pattern of even-even-uneven. The third line of the quatrain presents a different view of the subject of the first line.
