OriginalThis is a list of original '''{{w|poetry}} formats''' which have been proposed for and used in [[Toki Pona]].
 
==Square poems==
 
==={{tp|leko nimi}}===
The archetypal '''{{tp|leko nimi}}''' is a short poem written in {{tp|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 {{tp|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.<ref>{{cite Discord|name={{tok|jan Ke Tami}}|username=retsamys|url=//discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/828474497865744444/1015311855398440991|channel=sona-kulupu|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|retrieved=2 October 2023}}</ref>
