Holiday Emotions into Poetry
The holidays bring out emotions. Some good, warm and snugly, others are rugged, rough and rocky and sometimes heated, sharp and ugly. As we move into the holiday season, you will encounter a vast array of these emotions. Allow yourself to be in the moment as well as to be an observer of them--and when time allows (maybe bring a notebook, wink, wink, nudge, nudge), write about it!
To help you with this, I'm sharing the following poetry form.
Katauta Poetry Form
The Katauta is from Japan and has been around for hundreds of years and is one half of a sedoka.
MUST HAVES
--Lines: 3
--Meter: syllabic in the following format: 5, 7, 7 OR 5, 7, 5.
--Stanzas: 1, if you have 2 or more (5, 7, 7 version) it's a sedoka.
--Ask a question or make an emotional statement (historically towards one's love, but use your poetic license).
COULD HAVES or WHAT IS THE POET’S CHOICE IN ALL THIS?
--Rhyme: They tend not to rhyme but you do you.
--Topic: Poet's choice.

October Love triolnnet
It was in September that I met my fate
it was in late October that we married
it was the happiest date of my long life
It was 39 years ago September
I hope to have 40 more September
