Than-Bauk 6-7-8

By Kat Myrman 
6-
they were deceived
how naive to
believe such bunk

7-
there was a time,
reason, rhyme, and
fine lines were real

8-
‘twas all the rage
‘til the page turned
a stage, upstaged

Than-bauk

This Burmese poetic form is pithy and often clever, comprising just three four-syllable lines. The last syllable of the first line rhymes with the third syllable of the second line, as well as the second syllable of the third line.
