Tanka Type Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen
Tanka Type
Tanka
Obscurant poems
Complicated word puzzles
Several meanings
Gives poetry a bad name
For those who like clarity
Lepidoptera
Do you mean a butterfly?
No, a caterpillar
Or maybe a swimming style
Something of short duration
Thank you very much
I shall treasure this always
Your profundity
But I fail to understand
The point of obscurity
