Member Poem

I spread magic waves
in seconds flat a bright pulse
of golden moment vision’s
much needed tonic
when barren grey day landscapes
show, why not ostracise them

With optimum cheer
such as humour, laughter, smiles
they banish blue mood Mondays
foster wonderlands
of dream world diamond choices
beyond our wildest notions

Just imagine bliss
as universal portent
hoisting fun world  blue sky glee
except for such times
when sorrow is deemed most apt
in that case let your tears flow.

All things considered
life’s rich tapestry can draft
gem-inlaid  crowning sparkle
that allows for bouts
of lachrymose heartfelt loss
as well as comic rapture

Sedoka is a Japanese verse form that evolved from ancient songs. They can be mood poems, similar to tanka, or they can tell stories in the manner of a song. Sedoka consist of 6 lines of 5-7-7-5-7-7 syllables respectively. Each 5-7-7 unit is called a katauta
