Tanka and Haiku Pair (same theme)
2024 Gypsy's Tanka
:
Old Cherry Tree
by Gypsy Blue Rose
children and birds chirp
|

|
even the old cherry tree
blooms every spring
with bountiful fruits—
heavy branches hang low
for the farmer's children
sparrows feed
on higher cherry tree boughs —
timeless chirping songs

Author Notes
HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less.
