funny thing, bliss
it exists but
we miss, trying

takes a pure heart
to impart the
true art of love

And that’s a wrap! A week exploring the Than-Bauk. It’s a fun little form with just enough of a challenge to make it interesting. On Monday I’ll be taking on the Landay, another micropoetry form consisting of 22 syllables and only two lines. More to come on that. Before I sign off, one more look at the bones of the Than-Bauk in case you want to give it a go!
Than-bauk Poems – 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.

Hi Sadje! It has been my pleasure! Most of all it has kept me on track writing something each day, exploring these short forms. Looking forward to what this coming week brings! I hope you are doing well. 😊

Thanks Kat, I’m good. I was chosen as poet for the week for a poetry challenge and I asked everyone to write Elfchen for this week. We had a tremendous response. Everyone loved this.
