Than-Bauk

3 lines, 4 syllables each,
rhyme 1st line 4th syllable with
2nd line 3rd syllable with
3rd line 2nd syllable

Gives Haiku a run for its money, eh?

Actor on stage

an old adage
world a stage strange
with age we know

Fear is a blockage

bliss ignition
when we shun fear
bright sunlight here

Jazz from the caves
Modern-day slaves
Dance chains away

:smile: We’ve got to look at the syllables (not words) … the 4th syllable of the 1st line … it must be the same as the 3rd syllable of the second line as also 2nd syllable of third line.

This is a compact form but tricky

Where lies midpoint of rapture

we weigh and size
joy surprising
no wiser now

How still is our stillness

graded silence
it’s fragrance love
we sense bliss throb

Throttling love

when ego seeks
higher peaks here
love speaks no more
