Sedoka

  wild wind whispers close
                                            your songs so distant and soft,
kissing through lush green, still moist!

Your songs, moist and soft
My heart bleeds eons of red roses,
 cherished ever, still moist!

  4. The refrain in the closing phrases of lines three and six lend a musicality to this poem that speaks to the tradition of the sedoka. Wonderfully done!

  6. This is a good write... I like the use of alliteration in this as well. I really liked the first line- Wild wind whispers close. It starts this out strong and sets the tone for the rest. Good write! -Mike
