Aunt TT's First Tanka Attempt,Valid or No???C/C?

Describe when it happened

Describe what happened

Your worst fear

A positive outcome from the experience

One life lesson you learned as a result

@ The above is apparently what must be included,

but as long as you're wiser now, than when you wrote it,

that's all that matters!.....lol

Lovely. I like the creepy feel to this. A keeper, IMO.

Just to let you know, most well known modern day tanka poets dont follow the 5/7/5/7/7 rule. Here is a link to one of my favorite tanka magazine :) Enjoy :)

A Tanka to me thank you very much

You employed metaphors and some of the other stuff

a tanka wants, not really naturistic but hey, we can't

all be perfect, in fact, none of us can.

I love how you write milady.

Yes, that is a tanka, and very well done. The content is at once both clever and chilling.

(Sorry to take so long responding! Away for a while with other obligations.)

This is new to me.

A Tanka you say?

I will have to look it up.

I may have done one,

and didn't know it.

Yes, it is fine.

More than that the metre`s good

And it`s after 1a.m. here all silent, near-wintry and you just spooked ^-^ me

so Yes it works very well indeed :o.

9.4..d-d-d-don`t send the wraith! (bribery & corruption but 9.4 anyways).:0

I like it it's spooky and rhythmic!
