Welcome to day 4 of NaPoWriMo 2020! Today's poem is a katauta.
The katauta has 17 or 19 syllables spread over three lines that follow a 5 / 7 / 5 or 5 / 7 / 7 pattern. The first line is usually a question, followed by a two-line answer.
A katauta is considered incomplete on its own, which is why you often see it paired. Two katauta make a sedoka.
