Englyn the Form

We fill our busy days,with this and that, playthings of each new craze never stopping,just to laze- or into our hearts,to gaze. Note on form:ENGLYN a quatrain from Welsh poetry of 30 syllables in four lines 10,6,7,7.The sixth syllable of line one annouces the rhyme,the last syllable of succeeding three lines rhyme with it.(The final syllable of line one is without rhyme).The content often has an enigmatic quality.
