Impromptu Katauta

Tweet

I haven't written any poetry for a while, and while I was out walking my dog I had this sort of bumping around in my head. At first I was going to do a haiku, then I wanted to do something different and looked up a similar form called a Katauta. A Katauta is a three line poem that has the syllables 5-7-7. There are other things that go along with a traditional Katauta, but I am just using the syllable count. I walk in the rain Breathing in the lovely scent Angel trots along in front. © Stacey Uffelman 4/9/16
