There was no walking
There was no talking

Just there

No perfume did drift
No aroma lift

Just air

Plenty of nothing
Just faded being

No care

Existence declines
Reducing the minds.

Lai A medieval poem which flourished in 12th century France, consisting of couplets of five-syllable lines separated by single lines of two syllables. The number of lines and stanzas was not fixed, but seldom ended in the single two syllable line. The couplets rhymed and the single lines rhymed, the rhyme of the couplet can be different with each stanza, but the single lines tended to remain the same.

Thank you, Zenny,
Pleased you like this rather obscure form,
I like to attempt new things from time to time.
And even though this is 12th century it’s new to me.

Thank you, sunshine,
Please try, I’m sure your great talents will shine
In this form also.
The examples I saw were rather long
With the single line sort of a reframe

Thank you, serenity,

Pleased you enjoyed this effort
And do try your hand at it.
