You’ve decided to compose a strophic song: short, lyric lines of monorhymed verse punctuated by a refrain. However, the dissemination of cultural forms from Ḥaḍramawt, Oman, and elsewhere in the Arab world means that you have more options than your predecessors. Will you compose an old-fashioned work song or a modern strophic song imitative of cosmopolitan sung-poetry?
Are you a traditionalist or do you belong to the avant-garde?
I have traditional tastes in poetry.
I like to experiment with poetry.
