MODERN TANKA is a Japanese poetic form created 1,200 years ago. FORM: It's written in a concise manner of 31 syllables (5/7/5/7/7) OR LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different thank English syllables. Personification, metaphor, and simile are permitted in Tanka. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary and it never rhymes. click here if you want to see tanka rules - click here if you want to see modern tanka examples - click here to read Tanka Society of America
