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

An atmosphere apart

"I'm in love with you."

I whispered under the stars.

You did not respond.

"I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" I yell

The stars somehow start to dim.

I look down at her.

My gaze longing and weary.

I long for her touch.

There's miles keeping us apart.

My spirit starts to dim slowly.
