Eager to flourish beyond
Let not replenish in mind
The haste to accomplish fund
Cherish life Around

The Dodoitsu is a Japanese poetic form developed towards the end of the Edo Period, which came to an end in 1868. As with most Japanese forms, the dodoitsu does not have meter or rhyme constraints, focusing on syllables instead.

A lot of Dodoistu poetry focuses on love, humor or the unexpected, though there are many Dodoistu poems that also look at nature and beauty.

It has 26 syllables: 7 in the first, second and third lines, and 5 in the last line. (7/7/7/5).
