tanka is a form of japanese poetry with five lines (5-7-5-7-7 syllable count)here goes.... A Fairy Tale Angelic fairy A toss of her silver wand I leap up in joy Reach for dancing magic sparks My tooth turns glittering gold! |

kaile--Danka for sharing your tanka (sorry, just had to go there)! I don't think I remember learning about this form of poetry in school; I'm glad you shared it. You did a great job here, kaile. "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |

Very nice Kaile. I think a Tanka is harder to write than a Haiku. I like the story. ~Gene |
