My Poetic Latticework

Than-Bauk: February

Without a care,
February
will wear its frost
with wind-tossed sleet
embossed in white--
just the right stuff
to bite your nose.

Notes on the Than-Bauk form of poetry ▼

Form: Than Bauk

Number of Lines: 3

Rules:
Four syllables per line
The final syllable of the first line rhymes with the third syllable of the second line and second syllable of the third line.
The poem is conventionally written as an epigram, so it’s usually a clever or witty little poem.

Rhyme Scheme:
Here’s a visual representation of rhyming and non-rhyming syllables for each line:

xxxa
xxax
xaxx

Optional:
You may extend it into an interlocking chain by using the fourth syllable of the third line to start another cycle, as demonstrated in the following link: http://dversepoets.com/2012/11/08/formforall-than-bauk/

Choices for the poets to make this week: Your poem can be about any topic.

Let the creativity flow from your soul!
