The Adolescent Prodigy is a light poetic form intended to express pleasure with the serpentfolk deity Roroslongo Chrysalispupa the Succession of Growing originally devised by the serpentfolk Ugang Slanderousneigh. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single couplet. Use of consonance and metaphor is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines sometimes have reversed word orders. Every line of the poem has a terminal caesura. The second line of the couplet must expand the idea of the first line. The first line has six feet with a syllable weight pattern of short-long (quantitative iambic hexameter). The second line has five feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short (quantitative trochaic pentameter).
