History

It is used primarily in satirical poems, and is also performed with the accompaniment of percussion instruments. It is often used to make humorous observations about a certain topic, as a form of social criticism.

A vè poem or song consists of rhyming couplets, in which the final syllable of every other row rhymes with the final syllable in the next row. The rhyme scheme () is therefore :

  1. xxxa
  2. xxxb
  3. xxxb
  4. xxxc
  5. xxxc
  6. xxxd :etc.

The following is an example of vè, in which the words that rhyme are highlighted. Some examples:
