My First Tanka
I've taken my bows
My heart took a turn downward
I've risen to Earth
With all my fear left behind
But how will I survive now?
Tanka is like a Haiku. The only real huge differences are it's syllable scheme and the fact it's
written in 5 lines. A tanka has 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, 5 in the third, and
7 in the final two lines.
