The Sapient Demonology is a solemn poetic form intended to complain about a chosen subject, originating in The Impartial Great-White-Shark. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is divided into a line and a sexain. Use of consonance and metaphor is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines reverse grammatical structures. Each line has eight syllables.
