Verso de arte menor

The Verso de arte menor ( Spanish "verse of lesser art", also Verso de arte real or Arte menor for short ) describes in the metric of Spanish poetry a popular and - in contrast to the Verso de arte mayor - short, eight-syllable verse without a caesura . It is not tied thematically, rhythmically very freely in its design and is used in an eight-line copla . The most common rhyming scheme is[abbaacca], for example in the Cancioneros of the 15th century.

The verse is also used in the Redondilla . In Portuguese poetry , the Verso de redondilha menhor corresponds to it .
