Sunshine
Sunshine comes when we need it most
From mountains to the Ivory Coast
Even on days of rain some sun shines through
Gray hue clouds are undone

Here are the rules:
- The byr a thoddaid is a quatrain (4-line stanza) or series of quatrains
- The quatrain itself is divided into two combined couplets (2-line stanza)
- One couplet contains 8 syllables for each line with an aa end rhyme
- The other couplet contains 10 syllables in the first line and 6 syllables in the second
- The 10-syllable line of this other couplet has an end rhyme near the end of the line (but not at the end)
- The 6-syllable line of this other couplet has a link (either rhyme, alliteration, etc.) to the end word of the 10-syllable line and then an end rhyme
- The couplets can appear in alternating orders
Option 1:
xxxxxxxA
xxxxxxxA
xxxxxxxBxc
xcxxxB
Option2:
xxxxxxxAxb
xbxxxA
xxxxxxxC
xxxxxxxC
