Than Bauk
From Southeast Asia, the Than Bauk poem consists of 3 lines, with 4 syllables per line. It features a strange rhyme scheme. Imagine each "o" is a syllable. The "x" is the rhyming syllable. Than Bauk poems tend to be witty.

This website offers the proper way to extend your Than Bauk poetry into longer works: http://www.thepoetsgarret.com/orient/than.html

Example:

Chick with gold fluff
Tells tall, gruff tales
Of tough fry cooks!


This is a tough form. I made several attempts before wrangling one that wasn't completely bad. This one is just okay, in my opinion.
