Than-Bauk variation

Here are a few more Than-Bauk, where I have used a particular letter-sound instead of a rhyme on the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd syllables (lines 1,2,3) I find this to be a fun alternative to the limited rhyme version. Hope you enjoy. Let me know which ones you like.

careful blue sea
calm the sail breeze
why spoil with land
-
spite words you ate
gulped down angry -
have apple, Doc
-
the first cool breath
of Fall’s brisk leaves -
a ball, raking
-
sex symbol ruse
pol’tic’s rude lies
eyes rent go blind
-
li’l pinking rose
lips inked red, hushed
by roar of falls

Interesting take on Than-Bauk. These would not be easy to write either but a very creative style. Sara K
