Jeff Kyser Poet Than-Bauk

I'Ll Be Bauk

he's color blind
does not find fault
or mind her picks

—————

see you in court!
she retorted
the short of it

—————

star trek parsec
wait a sec, what?
non sequitur

—————

low libido
sees her, "whoa, son!"
also rises

—————

singular pun
everyone missed
save one, of course


—————

Some first attempts at some Than-Bauk, will try again
3 lines, 4 syllables each: xxxa, xxax, xaxx

L Milton Hankins March 15, 2022 at 1:56 PM Nice efforts, Jeff. I could never get the hang of the Than-Bauk or understand the purpose of it. I prefer the Japanese haiku, senryu, and tanka. To each his/her own, however. Jeff Kyser March 15, 2022 at 2:28 PM There's not a lot to work with, is there? Although there's even less with a Lanterne, I think I like it better - at least the intent seems more clear, or as I interpreted it, to use the first 4 lines as clues to the 5th. With this one, the only one I felt like might have been close was the last one. But I'm taking your advice and sampling as many as I can!
