The Tempest

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

doing laundry

she finds lipstick on his white shirt 

and that's the last straw —

wife throws his things outside

during tempestuous storm

 





- a juxtaposition of human nature and nature, anger vs tempestuous storm

Modern Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem with 31 syllables arranged in five lines; English tanka is 31 syllables or LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different. Tanka originated in the 6th century at the Imperial Court where lovers wrote tanka poems to each other after a night of lovemaking. click here if you want to read modern tanka examples click here if you want to read modern tanka rules
