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

Dearest Lover

My dearest Lover,

Her beauty not in deaths grasp

Her soul colour, white

Her it is who owns my heart

Be my Lover, forever

Your dearest Lover:

Beauty is not eternal

Souls, turn grey with age

Still, let’s rythem our heatbeat

I will be yours, forever
