Went to a car show last fall. Coveted a Corvette.

This poem is a Lunatika followed by a La Lunatika.
Lunatika, A poetic style that was created by Sunnilicious. Lunatika is an American Tanka. It is derived from the Japanese Tanka and Americcan Lune. Lunatika means an American Lune extended into an American Tanka. This tighter form of the traditional Tanka style is more visual as it allows short poetic narratives to be written. The Lunatika Poem can be written about any subject matter. It can have rhymes anywhere or be unrhymed. Centered or aligned. Alliteration allowed too. Punctuation is optional and left to the writer's discretion.
The syllable count requirements are 3/5/3/5/5. The title would always say Lunatika and include the subject of the poem.
La Lunatika turns the format inside out as: 5/3/5/3/3
