Roxanne (1987)
Director: Fred Schepisi

Rating: 6/10
Cliche, saccharine,
Nose a needless plot device.
Wished to strangle Chris,
Funnier adapted play,
But Martin is all it has.
Comets, great houses,
Firefighters on fire,
Written love letters,
Laughs and banter so witty,
Martin is more than enough.
Somonka is a form of poetry that is essentially two tanka poems (the 5-7-5-7-7 syllable format), the second stanza a response to the first. Traditionally, each is a love letter and it requires two authors, but sometimes a poet takes on two personas. My somonka will be a love/hate letter to this film?
