The challenge today is to write a tanka; a poetic form similar to the haiku. Unlike the haiku, though, the tanka is pretty strict about syllables per line: 5-7-5-7-7. I took this opportunity to write about something I love – words.
some words fall out of
use, even though still needed
apricity means
warmth of the sun in winter
words like this comfort my soul
Very nice! thanks for the poem, and the challenge to write one myself.
Tanka has been in my conversations for a week!
Thanks for the heads up about the challenge!
