A Tanka and a Haiku about the rain
Falling deep the rain
Traps you in the meadows
Changing all your plans
Into a sudden retreat
before you got to the bridge
*
Bombarding the bridge
The rain falls over the top
Like tears in your eyes

Thanks LEON STOLGARD. Glad you liked it (:
Hi Ruth, I hadn't heard of them until a week or three ago myself. Some people have described as a extended haiku almost with lines that the following syllable count 5, 7, 5 , 7 and 7. I'm trying to write a haiku a day at the moment and sometimes these have been creeping out too.
You've introduced me to something new here Andy as I've never heard of A Tanka!
Thanks Anmolpreet Kaur for the like. Means a lot you like (:
Thanks Lorna. I'm on a challenge to write a haiku every day and on some days have been doing a Tanka also. Today's inspiration was the rain. I'm working from home currently and that's all I could see today... The Rain (:?

Read these with rain pelting down and really enjoyed them. The military words seem a good fit.
