Hello dear Yvette!
Far more worthy of five stars! Lovely presentation, and I am intrigued by the form! Hopefully, I will get chance to attempt it soon! I must admit, it is a new poetic form to me!
Thank you for sharing!

    Hey, stranger -- good to see your smiling face... talk about somebody that's behind!! Ugh! But I'm trying.... although I did find some energy from the prose muse this past week (been a while since those two or three stopped by so I had to oblige them) and that felt good! :) :) Thanx so much for your review on this 'newly discovered' short form, Diane... gotta keep life interesting, ya know?! ;) :) Look forward to your giving it a go when things slow down for you! ;) :) Have a bright, sunshiny week, my friend! ;) Yvette

Yvette,

Look at you, digging up new forms to share. Some of us are really familiar with the haiku, senryu, kyoka, haiga, tanka and haibun, but this is new to me. It's really interesting. The strict form and allowance for rhyme should have folks jumping right on it. *smile*

This one was lots of fun - romance always is. Thanks a bunch!

Oh, this is really lovely. The poem and accompanying awesome picture send a powerful message about idealistic young love. The style/form is appealing.

I am not familiar with the Japanese form of Kouta but I enjoyed reading this one. The delightful picture added to the message with your well chosen words.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

I just did two this morning but I truly want to try, it does sound like fun. Loved the wording and I think the rhymning makes it more like a poetry piece
