2024 Gypsy's Tanka
: Love in Flames by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
I love

when you put your hands

   all over me—

your vestige touch burns

and sets my soul afire
 

Author Notes
Vestige = a trace, mark, or visible sign

Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem written with 31 syllables arranged in five lines; English tanka is 31 syllable or LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different. Tanka originated in the 6th century at Japanese Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tanka poems for each other after a night of passionate love making. With contemporary tanka the topic varies.

Usually, 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 === click here if you want to read modern tanka rules
