Katauta (rules in author notes)
A chapter in the book 2025 Japanese Poetry

In America

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 

     in America —

surrounded by greed and lies

laws are a thing of the past
 
 
 
 
 




We are not there yet and I hope the courts and Americans will contain the damage but my poem reflects the way I feel. That's what poetry is about.

KATAUTA is an unrhymed 8th-century Japanese poem consisting of 19 syllables with a 5/7/7 pattern. A pair of katauta is called a sedoka. The form was used for poems addressed to a lover like tanka. click here for more info
