Anime Tanka
The basic technique of writing a Tanka poem is that it has
31 syllables with 5 lines.The order of the syllables are 5,7,5,7,7.
This is how people in America write Tanka poetry; however, in Japan it
would be written in one straight line. A well written Tanka usually
consists of one theme that describes a general idea throughout the
whole poem. Thinking about your daily life and your experiences might
help you come up with a theme of your own.
Saying Goodbye
Carefully I walk
Trying so hard to be brave
They all see my fear
Dark glasses cover their eyes
As mine flow over with tears
Now go!!!!!
