To reach our Earth, the
Electromagnetic light
Circumvents all the planets.

Poem by Marieta Maglas
Some words taste sweeter
When dripped from your honeyed tongue
Onto sticky lips

When your eyes meet mine
I feel waves crash into me
Ocean meets earth here

Katuata is a Japanese poetic form that consists of 17 or 19 syllables arranged in three lines of either 5, 7, and 5 or 5, 7, and 7 syllables. The form was used for poems addressed to a lover, and a single katauta was considered incomplete or a half-poem.

Why does the titmouse
flick from feeder to clothes line
with his small beak still empty?

Titmouse does this as
your face is in the window
the face of a grumpy bear
Was doing some reading and thought I'd try a new form.
