Premium Member 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...

Premium Member Variation On 'Giving To'
An important truth of compassion therapy endorses co-investment, cooperatively sharing from a back-and-forth healthy heart, to receive a wealthier, more resonant, mind, soul, improved by NonZero-Sum win/win inspirations more strongly than Zero-Sum win/lose aspirations.
