Excellent Tanka Poems (rules in author notes 2024 Favorites : Sky and Sea by Gypsy Blue Rose FanStory Registered (c) Gypsy Blue Rose copyright2024

touch me  at the edge of night when the moon starts to fade and stardust scatters  over the break of dawn   touch me where waves tickle my toes as the flooding tides roll over my footprints on shore  and ebb tides take them and go   Recognized Author Notes Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem with 31 syllables arranged in five lines; English tanka is 31 syllables or LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different. Tanka originated in the 6th century at the Japanese Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tanka poems for each other after a night of passionate lovemaking. With contemporary tanka the topic varies.
