Sedoka and Somonka Poetry
For me, the lovest poetry forms are Sedoka and Somonka because these poetry forms are made for lovers. Sedoka and Somonka are old poetry forms from Japan that were written like secret letters between two lovers. When two people were in love but their love was forbidden, because they were from families with different status, and to avoid that other people discovered their love, Japanese ancient poets used to describe feelings through metaphors or symbolisms with nature to make it complicated to decipher it. Somonka is a poem of 10 lines made up of 2 tankas (tanka has 5-7-5-7-7 syllables per line, unrhymed). The first tanka is a question or a declaration of love that has to be sended to your crush, but it can be somebody who you love, and he or she has to write an answer with another tanka following the same theme that you wrote in the first tanka. If she or he doesn’t answer, it is clear that he or she isn’t into you. This is one of the most known, written a long time ago by two unknown japanese poets:
A faint clap of thunder
Clouded skies
Perhaps rain comes
If so, will you stay here with me?
A faint clap of thunder
Even if rain comes not
I will stay here
Together with you.
Sedoka is basically the same but with haiku (5-7-5 syllable pattern, unrhymed), don’t forget to describe elements of nature. Nowadays Somonka and Sedoka are almost extinct even in Japan. So it would be nice if more people would know more about them.

So it would be nice if more people would knoew more about them.
"It would be nice" signifies a wish so we use subjunctive case here. That's why "if people knew more" is used in the second half of the sentence.
