Exceptional 5/7/5/7/7 Tanka Tanka Collection : My Love Waits For Me by Gypsy Blue Rose

My love waits for me where the ocean meets the sky and my passion burns like the splendid setting sun that darkly dies every night       Author Notes "A sunset is the sun's fiery kiss to the night." -Crystal Woods TANKA is a romantic Japanese poetic form that originated in the Japanese Imperial Court, where men and women engaged in courtship would exchange tanka. The form was created 1,200 years ago. Like haiku, it's written in a succinct manner in 31 syllables (5/7/5/7/7) OR LESS in a short/long/short/long/long format because Japanese and English syllables are different. Personification, metaphor, simile are permitted in Tanka. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. No end rhymes. click here if you want to see tanka rules -- click here if you want to see modern tanka examples -- click here if you want to read free online tanka book -- click here to read Tanka Society of America Ã??Ã?¢?? click here to read Masterpiece Classes Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
