If any should visit the blog, please excuse the one-line format; I am texting tanka and haiku by phone quite frequently.

One says there is strict syllable count. Everyone knows 5/7/5 for haiku, I think. For tanka it is 5/7/5/7/7. The other school of thought, which Mr PreJean follows, says that our syllables are very different from Japanese kanji, and the best we can do is try for short/long/short/long/long lines. (That is in the case of tanka; for haiku of course, only short/long/short.)<br /><br />Tanka are traditionally to do with the emotions, particularly romantic love.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-36530555028594267542013-04-19T23:23:40.463-04:002013-04-19T23:23:40.463-04:00Thank you so much for printing these beautiful poe...Thank you so much for printing these beautiful poems, and introducing this poet.
