 LUC BAT

What is a Luc Bat and how to write it?


This is a Vietnamese form of poetry meaning ‘six-eight’. In fact, the poem consists of alternating lines of six and eight syllables. This poem is interesting in its rhyme scheme that renews at the end of every eight-syllable line and rhymes on the sixth syllable of both lines.


The rhyme pattern is as:

xxxxxA

xxxxxAxB

xxxxxB

xxxxxBxC

xxxxxC

xxxxxCxD

xxxxxD

xxxxxDxE


There is no limit in the number of lines and never split into stanzas. This can be short or can run upto infinity.


EXAMPLE OF LUC BAT:


A Luc Bat Poem

                                        ~ Ryter Roethicle

A luc bat poem is such

You need not say so much at all

Simple words can enthral

It can be simple and small or big

An epic thingamajig

Alter words make them fig or fit

The poetic licence bit

Just like that line of **** or ****

Whatever, give it a bash

Now my mind I must thrash and beat

And turn these humble feet

So first and last line meet and touch
