Tanka is a traditional japanese poem. Unlike the Haiku which uses the 5-7-5 syllables per line, Tanka is slightly more complicated with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable sequence. The japanese tanka is strict on only useing the 31 syllables. whereas the English tanka is written more freely useing 20 to 30 syllables in 5 lines. Example: Early, in my mind, the day sputters to a close My thoughts wander slow, in the beat given by Earth, to steady my mind and heart Hope that clears everything up for you. |
