Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem, but this modified tanka rhymes. Tanka is arranged in five lines. English tanka has 31 syllables or LESS because Japanese and English syllables differ. Tanka originated in the 6th century at the Japanese Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tanka poems for each other after a night of passionate lovemaking. With contemporary tanka the topic varies.
