a tanka poem
I yearn your warm touch
by Gypsy Blue Rose
I yearn your warm touch
and your light body on mine when you come at night-- the moon shines through my window ethereal silhouette |
Tanka Basics: Tanka is a Japanese poem, usually about love. It's over 1000 years old. Older than haiku.
A tanka has five lines that don't usually rhyme. The first and third lines have five syllables, while the second, fourth, and fifth lines have seven. The third line usually represents a turning point in the story: reading the first three lines together gives you one image while reading the last three lines give you another.
Silhouette definition:
the outline or general shape of something. A dark image outlined against a lighter background.
ethereal definition:
light, airy, extremely delicate or refined; heavenly or celestial.
Thank you for reading my poem,
