Today, I won’t get up!
I resent chirping birds
and annoying bright sun —
even the morning glories
seem to have tousled hair.

MODERN TANKA is a Japanese poetic form. The form was created 1,200 years ago. It used to be written between lovers but now you can write about anything you want. Like haiku, it's written in a succinct manner in 31 syllables (5/7/5/7/7) OR LESS. Personification, metaphor, and simile are permitted in Tanka. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. No end rhymes. click here if you want to see modern tanka rules and examples -- click here if you want to read free online tanka book -- click here to read definitions and examples
