Side verse - Wakiku

Japanese: 脇句 - わきく
Side verse - Wakiku
A term used in Renga and Haikai. In Renga and Haikai, this refers to the second verse following the hokku at the beginning of a volume. The verse format is 7-7, as opposed to 5-7-5 for hokku. While the hokku plays the role of the guest, the wakiku has traditionally been the role of the host, and is added with the spirit of greeting to the guest, continuing the unspoken sentiment left unsaid in the hokku. The ending usually ends with a rhyme character.
