This sedoka, Sea Breathes, has the proper formatting and finds the engaging draw of the surf presenting itself far into the shore just as the body approaches.

There is something uniquely amazing about speaking about being by the water. You just can't beat it. This is a lovely poem and I enjoyed it. Good luck moving forward with your work.

Hi. This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.!

Squelch means the noise you make slogging through mud. It does not seem appropriate where you used it. It is a verb.

I am confused about this contest. Yours is the second poem I've seen where the last line is more than five syllables. It says in the prompt that it should be 5-7-5. So, why does your last line have more than five syllables? The other guy said it should be -5-7-7. But the prompt listed here says 5-5-7 Something is wrong. I think you should find out what is going on. Here is what it says here about the contest you entered but the examples he gave are in the 5-7-7 format.


Writing Prompt
For this challenge you will write a sedoka.
This is a Japanese form that consists of two unrhymed poems that MAY show the same scene from two different perspectives or angles.
Each one has a syllable count of 5/5/7

Great job. Thank you for sharing

    Thanks for your review. There have been previous inquiries re this contest. There was a mistake made that somehow can't be corrected. The author does state that the correct sequence for a sedoka poem is 5-7-7.
