Day 7 - Tanka week

Rainbow

School. It's a real bitch.
Tired and ill. Well, ill-ish.
Weather isn't fair.
Rain... gales... plus, it was freezing.
But they gave us a rainbow.

Thus concludes tanka week! Just about managed to stick to it ^-^. <3

Day 6 - Tanka week

Bad mood

Bad moods are tricky.
Inescapable, almost.
You don't want a thing,
And it makes you feel more crap.
Happy New Year, everyone.

Day 5 - Tanka week

2012

Two thousand and twelve.
Or twenty twelve, either works.
With a tanka I
greet the new year... what lies ahead?
Hopefully we don't all die.

Day 4 - Tanka week

The dream

A sweet girl, my age.
Friendly, she came from nowhere.
All day I wondered...
What was your name, who were you?
A peculiar dream it was.


~Love Leonidas

Tanka week - Day 3

Don't forget the creepers

Building... creation...
Tests the imagination.
At night, monsters come.
Can you survive? Are you done?
That's Minecraft for you, bitches.

Tanka week - Day 2

Knowledge



Open minds we praise,
The world is full of debate
So much to learn and
So much knowledge to collect
Why waste the chance in anger?

Tanka week - Day 1

Sun

On a sunlit day,
All is right, is beautiful.
Clouds silver crested,
The world radiant with the
rays of our Mother.

Most people have heard of haikus, but I only found out what a tanka was very recently. It's a similar form of Japanese poetry, except it follows the form 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 in it's syllable lengths (except that Japanese poetry isn't technically measured in syllables, they're measured in a unit that they call on and we call morae, which determines the length of a syllable... but morae aren't used in English, so, it's all good.) Anyway, I've been thinking that I wanted to write a tanka every day for a week, and because I haven't been posting much, I figured that I might as well! Partly just for the hell of it, and partly so more people know about this cool form of poetry :). Write your own tanka, it could be fun ^_^.
