Gazing at Venus Tonight
by Gypsy Blue Rose
gazing at Venus tonight I thought about you— my raging passion was weaved with the storm’s lightning and thunder
today, at the shore, I watched you ride the waves— balanced on top of the world your body shining in the sun |

TANKA has its seeds in the human heart and mind. It grows into the myriad leaves of words and phrases expressing what the poet thinks and feels in her or his heart. Tanka are beautifully lyrical and they are often about love, loss, longing, and similar aspects of our emotional lives.
Tanka originated in the imperial court where men and women exchanged tanka poems after a night together. The poems were deeply passionate. Women poets were committed to a life of both religions consciousness and erotic intensity.
Pivot lines are feature of Japanese tanka and are often a feature of in English tanka, but it�¢??s not necessary. A pivot line, is usually written on line 3, can be read sensibly with lines 1 and 2, and lines 4 and 5, a property that can be used to introduce ambiguity and resonance into the poem. * click here if you want to read modern tanka examples * click here to join the Tanka Society of America * click here if you want to read modern tanka rules
