This week, the challenge is given by an accomplished poet, Willow. She wants the poet to choose a piece of music and “write a syllabic poem about how the music either makes you feel or what it suggests to you.”
This iconic song, shot in 1960, still inspires the lovers to believe that love knows no fears. She is a commoner and loves the Prince but the king promises her freedom from imprisonment if she dances in his court. She grabs the opportunity to declare her love that is eternal, despite the consequences.
A string of dodoitsu has been inspired from this song. Thanks to Tanka Tuesday host.
A dodoitsu is a Japanese form of poetry that is sometimes performed as a folk song. It has 26 syllables: 7 in the first, second and third lines, and 5 in the last line. (7/7/7/5). No rhyming. No title.
Magical aura of love
immerses two souls in a pool
of divine joy that freezes time
moments dare not stir.
***
it ushers spring into life
it whispers songs of delight
but adds embers of passion
love is so sublime.
***
love is a cascading creek
that flows with blithe abandon
donning beams of ecstasy
carves its own pathways.
***
enigmatic yet precious
it smashes all the barriers
power of love is superb
do not challenge it.
