Awdl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An awdl is a long poem written in Welsh in one of the twenty-four strict metres, using cynghanedd. Such poems are considered among the finest work that a poet can aim to produce, and prizes are given at eisteddfodau for the best awdl.
A famous example is the awdl Yr Arwr, by Hedd Wyn.
