Ya-Du
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ya-Du is a Burmese form of poetry which consists of up to three stanzas of five lines. The first four lines of a stanza have four syllables each, but the fifth line can have 5, 7, 9 , or 11 syllables.
The form uses climbing rhyme. The rhyme is required on the fourth, third, and second syllables of both the first three lines and the last three lines.
e.g.:
- ---A
- --A-
- -A-B
- --B-
- -B---
As in a haiku, a ya-du should contain references to the seasons.
