Notes About The Poem

The classic Than-Bauk rhymes 4th, 3rd, 2nd syllables on consecutive lines. I have chosen the same sound instead. Each line has 4 syllables.

Lift

at the wind’s lilt
wafting lift of
sweet lullaby

A tricky Than-Bauk Kim, you certainly nailed it for imagery, but boy the rhyming syllables are possibly out of my pronunciation range, but that would be nothing new for me lol! Cheers David

Trust me not to read your notes, is this a new form you’re developing, will have to come up with a good name, Than-Kim-Bauk, has a nice ring to it! :)

Possibly you didn’t read my notes. This is a non-rhyming but has similar sounds on the lines in place of the rhymes. :) Thanks!
