It's been a while since I had the opportunity of reading about different styles/expressions in Nepali poetry. The classic categories of Raudra Rash (Expression of Anger), Bibhatsa Rash (Expression of Shock/Fear(?)), Sringar Rash (Expression of Romance) comes to mind, but there are much more. Unfortunately, most of it has slipped out of my mind. It'd be nice to know of your input. Here's the only thing I remember, and it's not mine.

Sringar Rash (Expression of Romance)

Swa swa gari palang, ma chhal le nidai
Sutnu bhayechha pati ji, ma ta hos napayi
Nirdhakka chumban gare, pati hasnu bho
Laaz le bhutukka ma bhaye, ani kunni k bho?

Peace!

I know of soma ras, which albiet not a poetry form has inextricable link with it because its usually the stop before all things poetry.

Goes something like:

Khatiya uparai kuti sathai basa
Thaliya bhari paski jhingalu rasa
Khuba khau ramau yasari
kantipuri nagari....seem to have forgotten it

Boy, that was a quick switcharoo. You know what I'm referring to Slipknot. Yeah, your double.

She had come late at night
She thought her room mate was having a good time with some guy
She found her room mate dead in the morning

Bhayankar ras.

Bibhatsa Rash

Garu bhanye chat, Mod haru ko daar
Tanu bhane Gaja, Police ko daar
Sadhu bhane A/S/L, under-18/F/your room, house-mate lay bhanla bhannay daar.
