Cynthia Jones Poet Tanka

All These Syllables -Double English Form Tanka-

All these 
Syllables 
March in 
One by one 
I'm confused. 

Counting 
Mind's boggled 
Can't think 
Time to rest 
Weary mind.

Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2015 at 10:23 PM that is why I like the modern tanka and haiku, you don't do a count, but they have to be super short!! Cynthia Jones April 6, 2015 at 2:06 PM Andrea, I like trying to be able to work with so many different types of poetry. Some work out for me, where others don't. Thank you so very much for stopping by to have a read and leave a comment. I truly appreciate it. *S* Cynthia
