Exceptional Modern Tanka Suite (for rules ck my author notes) 2024 Japanese Poetry : Our Love Began by Gypsy Blue Rose

our love began in the wings of chance— I never thought you would come into my life bearing gifts of love and charm   before I knew it your soul slipped into mine flowing through my veins with unwavering aim straight to my heart   our breaths rise and fall in unison from dawn till dawn on the wings of spring breeze braided with jasmine scent and clear creek whispers       Author Notes Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem having about 12 to 31 syllables usually arranged in five lines. The syllable count is 31 syllables OR LESS. The first English poets who wrote tanka imitated the Japanese models of a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic structure resulting in Tanka poems that were too long compared to Japanese tanka because Japanese syllables are shorter than English syllables. The third line transitions from the descriptive and image-focused beginning lines into a reflective metaphor, simile, or personification for the closing lines. The subject matter varies, but most tanka are emotionally stirring or profound, and many are about love. click here if you want to read modern tanka examples click here to read tanka society of America information click here if you want to read more modern tanka information Thank you very much for your time and kind review.
