I discovered another form of poetry to give a go, it’s called tanka poem. This is a form of Japanese poetry with five lines containing five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables sequentially. Tanka poems can be written with any theme in mind. I picked running!
Would you give it a try? Leave a comment below with a theme you have in mind.
Poem of the day
Solitary Runner
It’s dark and quiet
Snow falls on my eyelashes
Solitary now
Fog forming with each exhale
I delight the loneliness
