Shells of indifference

hampered growth - amassing pain

undermined body.

A volcano blows it's top

when pressure can't be contained.

    Here is an example of a Tanka poem. I am new to Tanka so I do not offer criticism only encouragement to continue.

    Line one - 5 syllables Beautiful mountains

    Line two - 7 syllables Rivers with cold, cold water.

    Line three - 5 syllable White cold snow on rocks

    Line four - 7 syllables Trees over the place with frost

    Line five - 7 syllables White sparkly snow everywhere.

    This a structured style. You are free to follow your heart.
