Author's Note: This week's research on Sedoka comes from https://langcorrect.com/journal/sedoka-and-somonka-poetry/ --Here it states Sedoka and Somonka [different formats] are ancient poetry forms from Japan that were written like secret letters between two lovers.
When two were in love, but their love was forbidden because they were of families with different status, poets used to describe feelings through metaphors or symbolisms with nature to avoid other people discovering their love.
The first [stanza] is a question or a declaration of love that has to be sent to somebody you love, and he or she has to write an answer with another [stanza] following the same theme that you wrote in the first... often answering within a question.
This is my attempt :)
