Van Yan...Pan; could be Peter Pan !! :) Timothy Hicks is a clever 20 year old writer; do look him up; he is sincere, friendly and could be helpful, too. Best of luck. // paul

Hi Van...you could call it free verse; it might also be a kind of modern haiku.

Hi Van Yan! This poem might not be a tanka as we know it, but the poem in itself is as fresh as the ocean. Hope you'll enjoy your stay on Soup! // paul

So what kind of poem do you think it is? I am a Chinese poet and when I translated it into English I do not know what type it is.

Yes, I know. I just want to find a form suitable cuz I translate my poem from Chinese into English.
