My first attempt at a Sedoka. 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.Β

Good attempt, Shweta.
Now I know what Sedoka poetry is π
Thank you D Nambiar, am really happy you liked this poetry form.
After a long time ,I read now really a touching and romantic romance poem .Thank you for sharing .jk
Happy you liked it JK.
Ouch! That hurt, soul-sis! Hope no one suffers this fate.
Remember the Hindi Movie song- “Dil ke tukde tukde karke muskurake chal diye…”
Sometimes love and hurt become synonyms Soul-sis π
Very Sweet!
Thank you Meera.
Enjoying your range Shweta!

Shweta, I commented on your this post of yours but my previous comment has vanished π Don’t know how… π
Oh…may be I moved from WordPress to Disqus (was getting 300 spam a day) that would have done something to the comment. But I know your continuous support is always there π

What is a Sedoka? And Katauta is an unrhymed Japanese form of? Like the image design of poem. You know Japanese? Do you teach it as well?
I landed up here and was like cool theme, I thought of it as a blogger theme but found to be a WordPress one and liked the side bar gadget though would suggest you to get a custom facebook page.
Wo…Wo…Too many questions. Well Sedoka as mentioned in my post is a Japanese poetry form same as Haiku. You don’t necessarily need to know the language to adapt a poem form.
Now coming to the theme, thank you for finding it cool. What do you mean by a custom facebook page, I do have one https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunshine-and-Zephyr/1466119010322091?ref=ts&fref=ts

What all poem forms do we have in India then?
I meant to say a unique URL for your facebook page like facebook.com/sunshineandzephyr something if available and once set then it can be changed only once.
Well Neeraj, most of what you say in the comments section goes above my head. As always I didn’t understand your query.
I still don’t understand what you mean.
I just wrote the link suddenly and when I checked that then it opens your profile. The way you got a unique URL for your fb pro, the same way you can get for your page from settings. Rather it should be the link for your page.
Just in case you would like to redirect someone to your page. Like while traveling, when I get to know someone and they ask for my FB profile then I simply route to fb.com/apnidelhi as I don’t add everyone meeting around. Hope, I am able to clarify this time, what is actually a custom link for your page.
Very interesting! I had heard of haikus, but definitely not this form of poetry. Thank you. And it’s a lovely gem of a piece. π
Thanks a lot babe, I visited your site and loved the way you have written the Mexican post, the picture choice is refreshing and so is the write up π
