by Harry

The Tanka poem is very similar to haiku but Tanka poems have more syllables and it uses simile, metaphor and personification.

There are five lines in a Tanka poem.

Line one 5 syllables

Line two 7 syllables

Line three 5 syllables

Line four 7 syllables

Line five 7 syllables

Tanks poems are written about nature, seasons, love, sadness and other strong emotions.

  4. Harry, I followed the link that you gave in one of the previous comments and just sent the one of my tries. I am not sure if that was a right way to respond to the challenge.
