Songs Of Life (Tanka) - 05

Rating: 5.0


Million-ships afloat on thy river

Cruel time that waited on the shore

The first love-poem on thee,

On the rising morning Sun's glee

Was written on the heart's blank paper.

Even though your poem does not follow (5-7-5-7-7 syllables) , it is still a great poetic tanka.

Thanks dear Mihaela for the great remarks. Thanks again for the reform, I know little about different forms of poetry. I saw this form in one of the poems published here, thought it would be of the pattern A-A-B-B-A, and started experimenting with it. Didn't know about restrictions on syllables. Would keep in mind about your suggestion onwards. Regards. Subhas
