Here at Dodge Writes we will try our hand today at a The yadu, a Burmese form of poetry which consists of up to three stanzas of five lines. The first four lines of a stanza have four syllables each, but the fifth line can have 5, 7, 9 , or 11 syllables. As in a haiku, a yadu should contain references to the seasons.
The form uses climbing rhyme. The rhyme is required on the fourth, third, and second syllables of both the first three lines and the last three lines.
e.g.:
---A
--A-
-A-B
--B-
-B---
OURS IS...
With words they're bound
and are found here
around the clerks
who dust works old
and lurk in winters long past
some lessons learned
pages turned soft
a yearning felt
candles melt where
once dwelt master and student alike
Each had a dream
and were keen on
a scheme of thought
in which taught more
who sought knowledge of seasons in life
Please link your response here with our Mr. Linky
We thank OSP & Magpie Tales for the Prompt
And we hope to see you all at the Poets Rally
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
