My Yearning

for rules and information, please check my author notes
yearning for you
glides over green Mount Love in warm summer breeze —
feet caress cotton candy clouds
& heart beats to rushing creeks |
Mount Love is a real mountain close to my home in southern California.
Tanka is one of the oldest types of Japanese poetry. It begun in the Emperial Court, where lovers exchanged a tanka after a night of lovemaking.
Tanka in Japan, is 31 syllables in a 5/7/5/7/7 form, but in English is 31 syllables OR LESS in a short/long/short/long/long format.
