A Sedoka

How I Love You by Jill Stockinger

I am so hungry!
I crave kisses and salad,
hot soup, some cake with whipped cream.

Oh Love, I hear you!
Here is roast duck, soup, salad,
cake, kisses and candlelight!

The Sedoka is an unrhymed poem made up of 2 three-line katauta.
The sedoka usually has the following syllable count:
5/7/7, 5/7/7.
A sedoka may address the same subject from differing perspectives.
It is often written as a dialogue between 2 people.
--This is what I have gathered, after looking at several online sources! Jill
