Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

Unspoken Love

Unspoken Love

The silence whispers
Sweet nothings into her ears
She studies his expression

He returns her gaze
His crocked smile articulates
The words he cannot utter

Poet's Note: ▶︎

Line Count: 6
Form: Sedoka - Two stanzas (each of which is called a katauta). Each has three lines, with 5,7,7 syllables. Unrhymed. Theme: The stanzas are used to see something from two different perspectives. They are often considered a 'conversation' between two lovers, so that it can be like a question and answer. There can be other themes and imagery involved, but try to let the theme of love shine through somehow.
