New Poetry Form Tried... Than-Bauk
Than-Bauk, a new poetry form I am now writing in for a contest.
Hear My Sweet Dreams
Hold your dreams tight!
In your sight there
Each night sleep fair.
Dream on with glee!
You hold me thus
Lets be with care.
Under pale blue moon
Love blooms soon show
in rooms quite fair.
Velvet touch spreads!
On soft beds slept
Love weds our pair.
I think your kiss
Each I miss now
A remised share.
Hear my sweet dreams
We ride streams down
Fire steams our pair!

POETRY FORM- Than-Bauk, 4 syllables per verse, 3 verses per poem.
I wrote mine as a double--never like to be restrained or told to follow limiting rules.
Thus this one is ineligible for the contest I wrote it for.
Too bad the sponsor decided he did not want to read longer poems. -Tyr
