Such Difficulty. (Glon Subharp)

by Steven Beesley   Aug 26, 2005


Intro: In researching different types of poetry forms, Mr. Bryan Suphawut of Thailand gave me details of the complex Thai Glon Subharp poetry form. This experimental poem tries to use this form.

Such Difficulty:

This is really so very strange~~Here arrange~~To see~~It is Thai

It is making me want to cry!~~Just a sigh~~Problem?~~Try so hard.

I dare you try this, have my fate?~~Take the bate~~Please try~~Now bombard!

Be careful not to be off guard~~No regard~~Too late~~Try escape!

Glon Subharp:
A poetry form from Thailand.

1. A stanza comprises 4 separated sections that can be arranged into 2 to 4 lines.

2. Each section contains eight syllables.

3. The rhyming scheme is too complex to explain in words, you will become confused (I did!), so refer to the diagram below -

ooo oo ooA~~ooA~~oo~~ooB

ooo oo ooB~~ooB~~oo~~ooC

ooo oo ooD~~ooD~~oo~~ooC

ooo oo ooC~~ooC~~oo~~ooE
