The luc bat is a Vietnamese climbing rhyme verse. Lines of six syllables alternate with lines of eight syllables. Hence the name luc bat (Vietnamese = "six eight"). Each rhyme occurs three times: at the end of the first 8-syllable line, at the end of the next 6-syllable line, and as the sixth syllable of the next 8-syllable line. The end loops back to the beginning couplet.


A Luc Bat
example #1
((Mo thinks this is a correct depiction))

The luc bat shows two trends.
The poem's rhyme scheme tends to climb;
Lines alternate in time.
A six-beat line is prime; an eight-
Beat one succeeds its mate.
The form is not ornate, and yet
Does its job... Don't forget,
To conclude this vignette, it bends.

Example 2::
(Mo has decided this is a bad example
((ie doesn't fit the bill))


A Bog Body
The body in the bog
Has lain there like a log till now.
Then, unearthed by a plough
Cutting grooves in the slough for peat,
Head, torso, hands, and feet
Eventually complete the scene.
The corpse is not pristine,
And what the death might mean, doubted.
The reasons are clouded;
It's mystery shrouded in fog.

There are lots of neat light projects on Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, by the way, that are right up your alley...

Again, Brightpearl Thank you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

now that i am here
i don't believe i ever thanked you for this gem ::

[quote=brightpearl;427263]It's not beyond the surface, actually, just far closer to it than you could get even in the actual museum:

Google Art Project.
Wander through
museums all over the world, and zoom right in on whatever catches your fancy. I hope they add more.

I'm currently obsessed with Whistler's Princess from the Land of Porcelain. Zoom in on the flowers on her kimono...so lovely, so translucent and brush-strokey. And her face up close is fascinating, comes in and out of cohesiveness as you move back and forth.[/QUO

this is mo's favorite :>
