Romance on the Beach

by Debi Pick Marquette


on the beach and in your arms

we look up at the beauty

that sparkles in the ocean

let's swim in the stars

The dodoitsu is a Japanese poetic form developed towards the end of the Edo Period, which came to an end in 1868. As with most Japanese forms, the dodoitsu does not have meter or rhyme constraints, focusing on syllables instead.
This 4-line poem has seven syllables in the first three lines and five syllables in the fourth--and final--line. The dodoitsu often focuses on love or work with a comical twist.
