Also, there are some superb examples of modern tanka there, in my opinion.<br /><br />http://www.tankaonline.com/Quick%20Start%20Guide.htm<br /><br />In my notebook, I often start with an image (like the capsized boat that I remember from the news) and then write/explore that image to find out more. <br /><br />As I think about it, for me an image usually drives a poem, and a good amount of trust, trust that if I explore an image, I'll begin to understand why it plucked a heart-string. Or, also, trust that if I look closely enough at almost anything, I'll find a striking image!Steve Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307772474856131942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578454697877614703.post-1153197424798536132015-12-06T09:30:58.251-05:002015-12-06T09:30:58.251-05:00Steve- You say so much in so few words.

Some that I've read are not even 5 lines I'm trying to do 5 lines, with 3 longer and 2 shorter. Total syllables in the 20-25 range. I like the shortness of that number. Also, I'm trying to get a "hinge" line in there that moves one image to another. This one...not so much on the hinge line. It's more like just hinge punctuation.<br /><br />This one is from the news.<br /><br /><br />a capsized boat <br />in the pounding surf --<br />what wise man proclaims<br />no room <br />for you?Steve Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307772474856131942noreply@blogger.com
