EPIGRAPH:
Alex-
A few moments of
reading pleasure in return
for an evening of sensual
delights.Dennis
–A book inscription on ‘The Physiology of Taste’
October Bacchanalia
1994
A Sedōka
flavors of moonlight
our last candlelit evening
drips of hot glistening wax
fingertips quiver
tracing the curves of your quill
pulsing flush spreads over me
Sedōka?
Composed of two sets of 5-7-7 (similar to two katauta).
Frequently in the form of mondōka (問答歌, “dialogue poem”) or an exchange between lovers (sōmonka).
d’Verse prompt: on the flyleaf
At d’Verse, writers were encouraged to select one of several inscriptions as a topic of their poems; and place the chosen inscription as epigraph at the start of your post. Enter this portal to the past and use your imagination. For example:
- The relationship between the two;
- The outcome in the following years;
- How was the book received
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
