Awdl

From TheBestLinks.com

An awdl is a long poem written in Welsh in one of twenty-four strict metres, using cynghanedd. Such poems are considered among the finest work that a bard can aim to produce, and prizes are given at eisteddfodau for the best awdl.

A famous example is the awdl Yr Arwr[1] (http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yr_Arwr), by Hedd Wyn.
