Some brief note to work out what the hell is going on here:-
The numbers in brackets are what I make the syllable counts to be.
A) = Luc bat should be an alternating count of 6 /8. With the rhyme scheme being on the 8th, 6th, 6th syllable count repeating.
B) = the haiku / senyru form with a 5/7/5 syllble count throughout.
C) = The sestina with repeating pattern of 6 end words and a regular line count ( i chose 10).
If you have the staying power please check my counting as in a couple of places I had reservations as to if my count was correct.
Also would be greatful for any feed back concerning if this is just too long and tedious for words or if there is any merrit in this at all.
