Reflection Choka
Time for a truly epic challenge. Write a Choka, a form of Japenese long poem. This is a group of lines of 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-7 syllables. It doesn't have to rhyme. I'm giving it a theme of reflection. Enjoy the process.

Broken

Look in the mirror

And then tell me what you see.

Is it what you thought,

Or is it another theme?

Reach out with your tongue,

Will it know what it will taste,

Or has it gone numb,

Unable to reach the glass?

Don't cut yourself on a shard.
