Doing research on this form I see that there is not a definitively accepted explanation of what or how it should read. So I've given it a shot based off of the few different assumptions I could find. This one is from the description of Sedoka which is based on dialogue between two, with both asking the same or similar questions, but from their own perspective..

Her brown eyes sparkle, never seeing me stand near. Could I ever approach her? Each day I wonder if he might see me this time. Would he ever approach me?

Good Morning. First I love entries of romance and love. Second, I very much enjoyed the conversation/thoughts of both sides as they wonder. I consider this wonderful poetry that you leave us readers with. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent. It was an honor turning to your page today. Keep enjoying poetry and poetrysoup too.

Exactly. Such a simple thing to make them both happy, yet they wait. Thanks again Joseph

Your Ni kutata's (two stanzas) of your Sedoka is exactly as you had formulated them, FJ, rendering solutions to their queries--marvelously done. I enjoyed this very much my friend, Aloha William

Ah William if only I could find reliable, consistent information on this form. Sadly I remain woefully ignorant. But your kind words give me hope that I am at least heading in the correct direction! Thank you :)

An interesting juxtaposition of two parallel yet almost identical emotions. I like the way you presented these verses!...ab

A great scene you painted; the two Sedoka seem to complement each other wonderfully in that juxtaposition. That's fantastic.

Thank you so much Sotto. I am still researching but I was looking forward to giving it a try.
