A Sedoka poem about our darker side.

A Sedoka written for Week 10, Poetic Explorations.


Sharks, trolling waters
looking for unsuspecting
victims, full of innocence.

Young girls, not quite grown
should be enjoying life yet
rebellious souls lead to pain.


Author's Note:
The Sedoka is an unrhymed poem made up of two three-line katauta with the following syllable counts: 5/7/7, 5/7/7. A Sedoka, as a pair of katauta in a single poem, may address the same subject from differing perspectives.
