Today I am looking at two forms, the Katouta and the Sedoka. The Katouta is a three-line unrhymed poem with a syllable count of 5/7/7 that is most often used to declare love for another. When you double a Katouta into a two stanza poem, it becomes a Sedoka. A Sedoka can be used to create a dialog or you can use each stanza to explore a topic from a different point of view.

The Glass
A pessimist sees
a hypothetical glass,
moaning, it is half empty…
An optimist sees
promise in a glass half full
a reason to celebrate!
