Excellent Horror Tanka 2024 Gypsy's Tanka : Frigid Marble Tomb by Gypsy Blue Rose for Dean, tanka rules in author notes

frigid marble tomb veiled with midnight black shawl   bejewelled with stars— owl asks who's the poor soul as crickets serenade the silence     Author Notes Dean Kuch and I wrote a book of horror haiku. Whenever I write horror poems I think of him. Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed five-line poem with 12 to 31 syllables usually arranged in five lines. The syllable count is 31 syllables OR LESS because Japanese syllables (called 'on') are shorter sounds than English syllables. The third line is usually used to transition from the top descriptive lines to the image-focused 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 click here if you want to read modern tanka rules Thank you very much for your time and kind review.
