What is the structure to make a literary calaverita?
The structure of the literary calaverita It is very particular. While the topic is free, the composition must include these elements:
Octosyllable verses. There is no formal metric, but the most common format is the verse of eight syllables. The stanzas can be four verses or ten.
Consonant rhymes. They can be basically of two types: a, b, b, a (that the last words of the first and last verse sound the same or very similar, as well as those of the two in the middle) and A, B, A, B (that the first and third verse rim, as well as the second and the fourth).
Mention of death. The objective of the Calaveritas is to talk about how and why death took the pantheon to a certain person, so it always has to appear in the text.
Characteristics of the person to whom it is dedicated. As the argument in the Calaveritas is always that death is taken to someone, characteristics of the person to whom he is dedicated should be included.
Humor. Literary skulls often mix the reminder of the inevitable death with humor, love, sweetness or love.
Surprising end. It is important to finish the verse with an unexpected ending, that is, start with the characteristics of the person and take the story towards the surprising end, to note that it is a caverite made for her.
Good advice when writing a literary calaverita It is to sing the syllables, since the popular verses are not necessarily written, but first they are said. Therefore, you can try to sing them with popular tunes to see if they really rhyme.
