The above poem is a Tanka Poem in response to https://colleenchesebro.com/2016/11/01/colleens-weekly-tanka-poetry-prompt-challenge-6-wind-grace/
Tanka Structure and Content:
Tanka poems, when written in Japanese, follow a pattern of syllables 5-7-5-7-7. In other words, the first and third lines contain only five syllables each, while the second, fourth, and fifth lines have seven syllables. When translated into English the syllable count is usually thrown off. There would only be five in the original Japanese version.
Additionally, each tanka is divided into two parts. The first three lines are the upper phrase, and the last two lines are the lower phrase.
The upper phrase typically contains an image, and the lower phrase presents the poetβs ideas about that image.
Many traditional poetic forms have a turn, a place where the poem shifts, and for the tanka, this happens between the upper and lower phrase.
While haiku poems are usually about nature, tanka is often personal reflections on love and other strong emotions. Tanka also uses figurative language.
P.s I have serious doubts whether the poem written above is actually a Tanka Poem.π You are free to rectify me.
This is a gorgeous poem, however, it is not a Tanka. In Tanka, we must count the syllables of each line. Go to https://www.howmanysyllables.com/syllable_counter/ and type in the words to get the correct syllable count. Make sure to read my post in detail tomorrow to learn how to create a Tanka. Many hugs my friend. We’re all learning together. β€
