early morn's dew
brings a few drops
on new webs spun
spiders run fast
it's fun to watch them catching their prey at last
each day anew
spider crews, spin
with glue thin thread
widely spread; flies
end dead when roaming the skies

The Ya-Du is a Burmese form of poetry which consists of up to three stanzas of five lines. The first four lines of a stanza have four syllables each, but the fifth line can have 5, 7, 9 , or 11 syllables.
The form uses climbing rhyme. The rhyme is required on the fourth, third, and second syllables of both the first three lines and the last three lines.
e.g.:
---A
--A-
-A-B
--B-
-B---
As in a haiku, a ya-du should contain references to the seasons.
