The Parlando is a prosodic form comparable to the Litany, developed in poems by Gottfried Benn and taken up by Peter Rühmkorf or Uwe Kolbe; in the present it has been taken up by poets such as Hendrik Jackson and Steffen Popp. The parlando - like the'variable foot' - has an isocolic structure, but does not follow the 'breath controlled line' rule.
