This is a list of original poetry formats which have been proposed for and used in Toki Pona.

Square poems

leko nimi

The archetypal leko nimi is a short poem written in sitelen pona consisting of an equal amount of lines and words per line forming a square. The poem can then be read both horizontally (usually left-to-right) and vertically (usually top-to-bottom). How strict these rules apply to a particular poem is up to the author.

In an informal emoji reaction poll in the ma pona pi toki pona Discord server, 19 respondents knew about the format already, while 52 were new to the format, and 8 reported having made one.[1]

The following is a list of leko nimi poems:

Letter squares

There are 39 possible letter squares with each line and each row being exactly one word, using words from Linku (with 2022 data).[2]

Syllable squares

There are 335 possible syllable squares with each line and each row being exactly one word, and an additional 91 squares if coda -n gets counted separately (moraically), using words from Linku (with 2022 data).[3]

The following is a list of syllable square poems:
