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
I Cannot Take You
I wish to hold you
I’m not sure when or how, but
I must find a way
You look like you need someone
And that person could be me
…
Stay away from me
Don’t get me wrong, I love you
Like, as a sister
I have a wife who I love
I’d do anything for her
