The White-sand of Saving is a dramatic poetic form intended to beseech Aglobodlungu the Beryl Chasms which grew out of the performances of The Ignominious Gallstones. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single quatrain. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines have similar grammatical structures. The first line has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic trimeter). The second line must make use of elision. It has seven feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic heptameter). The third line has four feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic tetrameter). The fourth line has four feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-short (quantitative dactylic tetrameter).
