Hey guys! I decided to give a few more poetic forms a try, and the ‘Tanka’ is one of the most famous ones that I haven’t attempted yet! The Tanka is a Japanese poetic form of five lines with 5, 7, 5, 7, and 7 syllables — 31 in all. This particular ‘Tanka’ may seem like it’s about nature, but as is true of all poems, it holds a much deeper meaning. See if you can figure it out. Hope you enjoy!
At once, in a flash,
Petals reached out, intertwined;
Two different flowers
Come together as one sole
Phenomenon of nature.
Don’t forget to like, share, subscribe, and comment on what you thought of this Tanka, what you think the hidden meaning is, or even with a Tanka of your own. Thanks for reading! ♥
