Tanka Poetry #1 – Moonlight
Thanks Maniparna for introducing me to another new form of poetry!
The velvety sky
bathed in the sliver glow,
sets a perfect stage,
igniting spark and passion,
on the romantic lovers !
Tanka is a poetry form which originated in Japan more than 13 centuries ago. In its purest form, tanka poems are most commonly written as expressions of love, self-reflection, and gratitude. It contains five lines and 31 syllables in the form of 5-7-5-7-7.
