Excellent 4/6/5/8/8. Tanka Tanka Collection : My Yearning by Gypsy Blue Rose for rules and information, please check my author notes

yearning for you glides over green Mount Love  in warm summer breeze   —   feet caress cotton candy clouds & heart beats to rushing creeks           Author Notes Mount Love is a real mountain close to my home in southern California. Tanka is one of the oldest types of Japanese poetry. It begun in the Emperial Court, where lovers exchanged a tanka after a night of lovemaking. Tanka in Japan, is 31 syllables in a 5/7/5/7/7 form, but in English is 31 syllables OR LESS in a short/long/short/long/long format.
