Dalit (poem)
The dalit is a type of short Filipino poem, consisting of four lines with eight syllables each. There is a controversy regarding its origin. One school of thought states that the dalit is Spanish in origin, particularly because its syllabification is even or ''pares''. Hence, it is said that the Spanish popularized the dalit in the Philippines. Another view holds that the dalit is indigenous, but the friars used its popularity to promote Catholicism, in the form of meditative verses.

Meditative Poetry
Meditative poetry combines the religious practice of meditation with verse. Buddhist and Hindu writers have developed extensive theories and phase models for meditation (Bevis 1988; 73-88). In Christianity, meditation became a major devotional practice during the Middle Ages, closely associated with the life in monasteries.

Both contemplation and meditation had the same end, to seek unity with God. During the Protestant Reformation and Counter-Reformation, Jesuits like Ignatius of Loyola formalized the process of meditation, as a channeling of memory, understanding, and will.
