This is not Tanka it is Gogyohka, a fairly new form growing out of Tanka. I think I have the form correct, but i have not yet investigated the tone and
intricasies of the content. Keep watching for this as I think it will catch on quite quickly. The form is to take a poem about the length of a haiku and take out each mini phrase within the total phrase and arrange them in five lines. Joann Grisetti introduced it to me last week. It is kind of hard to determine if a one, two or three word group is a complete mini phrase.
