Welcome to my April 2024 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with picture), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, Y is for…Yadu. “The ya-du is a Burmese poetic form. Here are the guidelines:  Quintains (or five-line stanzas).  Four syllables in the first four lines.  The final line has either five, seven, nine, or 11 syllables. The fourth syllable of the first line rhymes with the third syllable of the second line and the second syllable of the third line. The fourth syllable of the third line rhymes with the third syllable of the fourth line and the second syllable of the fifth line. The fourth syllable of the fourth line rhymes with the final syllable of the final line.  Subject usually deals with seasons. Most ya-du are written in three or fewer stanzas.”

Today

Sun peaks behind
flowers. Find peace
And mind, the rain
passes pain. Spring
will reign and summer bring.

Thanks for visiting my 2024 A to Z Challenge – Letter Y.

Guess I’m kind of going rogue too…although I do like using the “official” letters…
