Interesting format. Strong rhymes, alliteration, and personification. Lyrical lilt easy to detect. When with someone you care about whispered secrets and dreams are things one wants to share with them.

This is a lovely short poem which introduced me to a previously unknown format. The words have a pleasing lilt and the brief rhyme works well. The picture is a nice addition.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I counted syllables and would say this poem definitely fits the syllabic requirements. It has a lyrical quality, especially in lines 1 and 2. And also 4. There is 'd' alliteration with 'dew drop's' and personification with the word 'kiss.' There might even be said to be 's' alliteration with 'secrets,' 'stars,' and 'skin.' I hear 's' consonance with the end word of each lines. Nice job.

"Loves Vision"
A Japanese Kouta."
Sort of like an extended version of a Haiku 5 7-5.
...
Short and sweet right to the point.
"Dream a Little Dream of Me?"
...
Thanks Yvette!

I was given that distinction not long after I joined this site 7 years ago by 'C Lucas.'
Or Charles...
Or Charlie Lucas the Great Western novelist!
...
And, after he bestowed that privilege on me...
He told me that basically he had been doing that for quite a few years also.

A very well-written kouta about two lovers who are in a private setting and whisper love words into each others' ears the things that make them excited to be around one another.

Thank you for introducing me to this Japanese form. I admired your use of the imperative and alliteration in this compelling poem. The artwork you selected thoroughly reinforces the theme and title of your Kouta. I'd like to try this form and hope my muse cooperates. Cheers- Joan

Thanks for sharing about this new Japanese form that I never heard of before! And you created a sweet love poem using the 5575 syllables.

Did you prefer to have dewdrop as two words?
