Exceptional Tanka Pair (rules in author notes) 2024 Favorites : Dawn Dewdrops by Gypsy Blue Rose Presentation and Poem by Gypsy Blue Rose (c) copyright @11/14/24

dawn cries dewdrops because the moon is gone     and I feel its grief — as it dreams of distant stars adorned with sapphire rings . the gray dawn carries nostalgic morning mist      and transient clouds — that say goodbye and hide behind daylight     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. click here if you want to read modern tanka examples click here if you want to read modern tanka rules Thank you very much for your time and kind review.
