POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
Write a Somonka from the perspectives of two lovers. A Somonka is made of two Tankas, with the second responding to the first.
A tanka consists of five lines with a syllabic structure of 5-7-5-7-7
Shall I?
Shall I read to you?
Read you a story of love
Of our life, my dear?
I shall hold you tight with care
I shall whisper in your hair
Shall you do such things?
Bind me with your lies and strings
Of my suffering?
Hold my throat so tightly, you?
Tugging the strands out my hair
