Wrong

Posted April 7th, 2008 by David Gibbs

Something different
The Tanka form is ancient
This one is my first
I struggle with this Tanka
I'm crap! A proper wanker!

I Laughed..

Your comment made me laugh! I was reading about different types of poetry, a Tanka is the most ancient form of Japanese poetry, apparently. The first and third lines are five syllables, the second, fourth and fifth lines are seven syllables. Unfortunatly for me, being of immature mind, I couldn't help but ryhme Tanka with wanker!! Childish I know, but now it's out of my system I will hopefully be able to have a proper go!! (Might not be any improvement though!)
Take care
Dave

very good, dave

I enjoyed this poem and the style. I am trying it out myself. You like to try different things, don't you? That takes real discipline. Thanks

I don't mind trying new styles, I can see this one being a bit of a challenge!! Still, have to have a go though! Good luck with your work,
Dave
