The Katuata is a Japanese form of poetry also
referred to as a side poem or a half poem. It is an emotional, intuitive verse, rather than a logical one. Katuata is written as an address to a lover.
It consists of 17 or 19 syllables arranged in three lines of either 5, 7, and 5 or 5, 7, and 7 syllables.
(A syllable is a single unit of written or spoken word, an unbroken sound used to make up words)
--Today, write a Katuata addressed to a lover.--
