Weekly Tanka Prompt Poetry Challenge Wk #94 – Moon & Romance
The “Weekly Tanka Challenge Prompt” is now also a Poetry Prompt Challenge (any form).
The Sedoka is an unrhymed poem made up of two three-line katauta with the following syllable counts: 5/7/7, 5/7/7.
The Katauta is an unrhymed Japanese form consisting of 17 or 19 syllables. The poem is a three-lined poem the following syllable counts: 5/7/5 or 5/7/7. The Katauta form was used for poems addressed to a lover. A single katauta is considered incomplete or a half-poem, however, a pair of katautas using the syllable count of 5,7,7 is called a sedoka.
I remember when
we kissed under the full moon
before you passed from this earth
my lips still taste yours
the memory of us lives
in the romance of my heart
