Wild Horses at Break of Dawn

by Gypsy Blue Rose


for rules and information, please check my author notes
 

wild horses rush
into a furious gallop
at the break of dawn
refusing a tamed life
in flat land corrals


 




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. For examples click here

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
