The Katauta is an unrhymed Japanese form of poetry consisting of 17 or 19 syllables. The poem is a three-lined poem with the following syllable counts: 5/7/5 or 5/7/7
what is it you say
when you do not say a word
branding my soul with your eyes
quietly you leave
as quietly as you came
only your mark left behind.
Beautifully written. I like this form of poetry. I presume this form of poetry works best when your want your poem to be short, yet powerful.
