Notes About The Poem

Katuata
A type of romantic Japanese verse based on natural instincts. It follows a specific syllable count of; 5-7-7,  A katuata is a lover's query or an emotive statement that bears a response on the last line, either in part or, entirely.

Web of Desire

a shy skittish smile
            highlights her angelic face,
can angels fall in love?

      goddess of my dreams
            caught in my web of desire
are you a wish, or a hope?


(Double Katuata)
