Some of these tanka are .. not.
when you opened
my letter
were you surprised
my heart
fell out?

the look
on your face…
if only my words
had remained
unspoken

Some of these tanka are .. not. Some writers believe writing Japanese poems in English negates Their original structure So they do not count. Sloppy! Ha, I did it. ;-> I submitted entries awhile ago, can't remember which poems, however, I feel pretty sure I'm one of the few entrants (so far, at least) who tries to write in as deliberately a medieval Japanese style as I can manage in modern English. |
