The Burmese Than-Bauk form inspired British poet Robin Skelton to create a new form called the Novem, which goes like this:

1. Three lines per stanza.
2. Three words per line.
3. Each line contains two single syllable words and one two syllable word, which shifts from the end to the middle to the beginning of the line.
4. Each stanza should repeat the same consonant sound at least four times.

Here is an example of how this works: https://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/poetic-asides/novem-poetic-forms .

Let the creativity flow from your soul!
