Trust  (Dodoitsu)

pregnant?

just with possibilities - I liked the form - it's sweetly sardonic

I love that you love form as much as I do...both human and poetic...

Pure treachery, seems to me.  Leaving a woman alone with child is a form of cowardice.  If a father won't take responsibility then to hell with him.  I love the write even if it got me a bit piqued.

I guess that is the power of the form - not sure if the ironic bitterness is essential but it seemed a requirement of all the exemplars I found - and it is a genuine issue for women and society.  Sorry if it stuck in your craw a little.  

Great lay out and picture, by the way.

That was more difficult than the poem!

Wonderfully done. I've written a couple in years past. Well, I tried almost all forms...I'll have to check into my archives when I have time to see if any are worth salvaging lol

Do they have to be wry or cynical?

The Dodoitsu is a fixed folk song form of Japanese origin and is often about love or humor. It has 26 syllables made of of four lines of 7, 7, 7, 5 syllables respectively. It is unrhymed and non-metrical

Bother - the guide I read said 7-7-7-7! Re-write coming up!

Love the rewrite

Patience sir I am having issues with the graphic though have worked out how to edit out 2 syllables
