Dodoitsu

Like Haiku, Dodoitsu is also a Japanese form of poetry. It is a four line poem, generally on love or humour. It has four lines with 7-7-7-5. I  am making a sincere attempt here.


                                     No fear of any body
                                     I sleep fearlessly,
                                     in my beloved's arms.
                                     Calm and quiet.


                                      On a  dark stormy night 
                                      dogs barking  in fury,
                                      at their own  shadow.
                                      Cats are smiling.
