__I haven't the credentials to suppose I know the form of Sedoka, I can only rely on my opinion; six lines, both the first and second triplets quite able to be read as haiku/senryu, and as linked... the whole, a complete feeling. I think the structure of 5-7-7 , 5-7-7... is subject to the same English syllable minimalism as haiku and senryu.

dry leaves whisper my steps
beechnuts
this deer runs
and spews fog above its nose

I don't know any technicalities of forms in poetry....
But it brings a very nice, serene forest scene to my mind....a scene i myself would love to walk...and it took me through to a good extent....thats enough for the reader in me :)
Good one, Magyar :)

Don't know about the technical aspect, but I do know that I LOVE it (if that counts for anything, my friend). It's terrific, _m. :)

Wonderful Magyar.
A hunter friend of mine think this is to be there himself.

I haven't heard this form before. I thought it was Tanka until I saw your text. Thanks for the introduction to Sedoka.
